PSLV-C62 launch faces anomaly in third stage, ISRO begins detailed analysis
The Indian Space Research Organisation experienced a tense morning on Tuesday after the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C62 lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 10.18 am carrying a total of 16 satellites. The mission initially appeared to progress as planned, with scientists closely monitoring each phase of the flight. However, around 30 minutes after liftoff, ISRO confirmed that the mission had encountered an anomaly during the third stage of the launch sequence, r

SpaceX Booster 18 suffers damage after test anomaly at South Texas site
A major phase in SpaceX’s Starship test program faced an unexpected setback on Friday when Booster 18, the company’s first next-generation Block 3 Super Heavy booster, sustained significant structural damage during a ground test in South Texas. The incident occurred at SpaceX’s Massey test facility near Starbase, where the vehicle was undergoing routine gas-system pressure checks ahead of more rigorous structural proofing. Shortly after 4 a.m. local time, livestream footage captured the

Explosion at SpaceX Texas site halts starship launch plans indefinitely
A powerful explosion rocked SpaceX’s testing facility in Massey, Texas, on Thursday, bringing preparations for the company’s next Starship launch to an abrupt standstill. The blast occurred just moments before the Starship Ship 36 prototype was set to undergo a critical static fire test. This phase involves igniting the engines of the rocket while it remains firmly secured to the ground, serving as a final trial of engine performance and systems integrity before a planned launch.

"Space One's Rocket Launch Aborted Minutes After Liftoff"
Space One, a Tokyo-based space startup, faced another setback in its mission to develop Japan's domestic space industry when its second rocket launch was aborted minutes after liftoff. The Kairos No. 2 rocket, designed to carry small satellites into orbit, launched from Spaceport Kii in the Wakayama prefecture on Wednesday. The rocket's trajectory became unstable shortly after takeoff, leading to a termination of the flight about 10 minutes in. The mission, which carried five satellit
