Sierra Space finishes first plane of SDA missile tracking satellite structures

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 07, 2026 Sierra Space has completed the first nine satellite structures for the Space Development Agency's Tranche 2 Tracking Layer program, delivering Plane 1 of its contracted 18 satellites three months ahead of schedule. The milestone supports delivery and launch preparation timelines for the Tranche 2 Tracking Layer within the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. Erik Daehler, Senior Vic

Starfighters Space positions for rapid hypersonic era missions

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Jan 03, 2026 As rivals deploy operational hypersonic vehicles, analysts describe a new Sputnik moment for U.S. tactical space access, with the Pentagon directing more than $6.9 billion toward hypersonic weapons programs for fiscal 2025 and the hypersonic technology market projected at about $8.46 billion this year. The shift away from chasing the lowest launch price toward speed and responsiveness underpins

Tiny patches of deforestation drive tropical carbon loss

Often called Earth’s green lungs, tropical forests pull down massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, release oxygen and help regulate the global climate. While the threat of large-scale deforestation is well known, new findings reveal a surprising culprit – the clearance of small areas of forest accounts for more than half of net carbon losses across the Tropics.

Second ESCAPADE spacecraft completes key trajectory fix on path to Mars

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 07, 2026 NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft are back on a fully synchronized path to Mars after mission controllers successfully carried out a critical trajectory correction maneuver for the second probe on Jan. 6. The burn followed a brief pause in December 2025, when engineers delayed the attempt to investigate low thrust seen during earlier correction efforts on one of the two small satellites. The

Lunar spacecraft exhaust could obscure clues to origins of life

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Over half of the exhaust methane from lunar spacecraft could end up contaminating areas of the moon that might otherwise yield clues about the origins of earthly life, according to a recent study. The pollution could unfold rapidly regardless of a spacecraft's touchdown site; even for a landing at the South Pole, methane molecules may "hop" across the lunar surface to the North Pole in under two

Sandblasting winds sculpt Mars landscape

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Martian winds lift sand grains into the air and drive them across the surface, where they erode soft sedimentary layers and gradually carve elongated grooves and ridges near the planet's equator. The remaining ridges, mounds, or columns, known as yardangs, stand above the surrounding terrain and often extend for tens of kilometres in the direction of the prevailing winds. In northern Eumen

NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory spots record-breaking asteroid in pre-survey observations

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 As part of the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory First Look event in June 2025, Rubin announced that it had observed thousands of asteroids cruising about our Solar System, about 1900 of which have been confirmed as never-before-seen. Within the flurry, a team of astronomers has discovered 19 super- and ultra-fast-rotating asteroids. One of these is the fastest-spinning asteroid larger than 500

M dwarf plasma torus offers window into space weather and planetary habitability

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Carnegie researcher Luke Bouma is using a naturally occurring plasma structure around certain young M dwarf stars as a kind of space weather station to investigate how stellar particles shape planetary environments and potential habitability. M dwarfs are smaller, cooler and dimmer than the Sun and commonly host at least one Earth-sized rocky planet, many of which are either too hot for liquid w

We finally know how the most common types of planets are created

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 07, 2026 Thanks to the discovery of thousands of exoplanets to date, we know that planets bigger than Earth but smaller than Neptune orbit most stars. Oddly, our sun lacks such a planet. That's been a source of frustration for planetary scientists, who can't study them in as much detail as they'd like, leaving one big question: How did these planets form? h3>Now we know the answer /h3> An interna

Puffy young exoplanets reveal origin of super Earths

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Astronomers have identified a young planetary system that links newborn giant worlds to the compact super Earths and sub Neptunes that dominate the Milky Way. V1298 Tau, a star about 20 million years old, hosts four planets between the sizes of Neptune and Jupiter in close-in orbits, offering a snapshot of planets during a brief and dynamic stage of evolution.

NJIT researchers discover long-hidden source of gamma rays unleashed by solar flares

Newark NJ (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most violent eruptions. In findings published in Nature Astronomy, scientists at NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have pinpointed a previously unknown class of high-energy particles in the Sun's upper atmosphere responsible for generating the long

Dark matter neutrino link may ease cosmic tension

London, UK (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Scientists report signs that dark matter and neutrinos may interact, a possibility that would extend the standard cosmological model and change how structure growth in the universe is understood. The study examines how such interactions could influence the formation of galaxies and other large-scale structures, addressing a known mismatch between predictions from early-universe measurement

REFERENCE

Where does this space news come from?

Every story on the EveryLaunch news feed is written by an outside outlet, like SpaceNews, NASASpaceflight, Space.com, ESA or Ars Technica. It comes in through the Spaceflight News API. EveryLaunch shows the outlet's own headline and summary and links to their site. The art on each card is drawn here from the outlet's name. EveryLaunch doesn't host, rewrite or republish article text.

How often is the spaceflight news feed updated?

EveryLaunch fetches the feed again every 30 minutes, and it's always newest first. Each card shows how long ago the story was filed. Hover over the time to see the exact publication time in UTC.

Can I filter space news by outlet or search for a topic?

Yes. The source buttons above the feed show one outlet at a time, and the search box matches words in headlines and summaries. Both go into the URL, like /news?source=SpaceNews or /news?q=starship, so you can bookmark or share a filtered feed.

Do these articles open on EveryLaunch or on the publisher's site?

Every headline opens the outlet's own page in a new tab. The reporting and its images belong to the outlet that wrote the story, so you read it there.

Where do I find launch dates rather than news?

On the launch pages. Each launch on the schedule has its own page with the pad, the rocket and the mission, and a live countdown once a day is set.
