Firefly Aerospace's Alpha rocket suffered an upper-stage problem during its fourth-ever flight on Friday (Dec. 22), delivering its payload to the wrong orbit.

SpaceX is now targeting Dec. 28 for the launch of the U.S. Space Force's X-37B space plane atop a Falcon Heavy rocket, after a delay of more than two weeks.

True Anomaly just raised $100 million in funding, which the company will use to continue developing its space security technology.

Final preparations are underway for a new launch opportunity, which will mark the first time the X-37B has lifted off atop SpaceX's powerful Falcon Heavy rocket.

SpaceX scrubbed Wednesday's (Dec. 13) planned Falcon Heavy launch of the US military's X-37B space plane, citing a 'ground side issue.' The next launch opportunity has yet to be announced.

'Both Jeremy and Josh are incredible ambassadors.'

The secretive spacecraft is likely launching farther than ever before.

North Korea may have deliberately detonated the first stage of its rocket during a launch Tuesday (Nov. 21) that aimed to put a spy satellite in orbit.

A new U.S. Space Force publication says that to operate safely in space, Guardians need to know exactly what is in orbit and where it came from —  but anomalous objects show that it's no easy task.

North Korean state media claims its Malligyong-1 spy satellite reached orbit on Tuesday (Nov. 21); if true, this would mark the first time the nation has accomplished such a feat.
