Students in Hong Kong can now design their own satellites and send them into actual space through a new aerospace education program. An AI-powered system helps young learners refine their designs and turn creative ideas into real spacecraft.
Engineers at the University of Illinois just created spacecraft waveguides that fold like paper shopping bags, making satellites lighter and cheaper to launch. The origami-inspired design compresses for liftoff, then expands to full size in space.
Scientists created a tool that helps satellites gather climate data without turning space into a debris field. It could protect astronauts and satellites as orbital traffic explodes toward 100,000 spacecraft by 2030.
UK retailer Primark just released a clothing line with magnetic zippers, adjustable features, and stoma bag pouches designed specifically for adults with disabilities. Award-winning designer Victoria Jenkins, who has chronic conditions herself, led the collection that models and customers are calling "life-changing."
A spacecraft designed to repair and refuel satellites in orbit just launched from Cape Canaveral, promising to extend the life of aging satellites and reduce space junk. Think of it as roadside assistance, but 22,000 miles above Earth.
Scientists have designed shoebox-sized satellites that can detect nuclear weapons secretly launched into orbit, offering a new way to prevent conflicts in space. The monitoring system uses commercially available technology to spot weapons before they can threaten the thousands of satellites we depend on daily.
A fintech company just invested ₦3 million in Nigerian designers grappling with AI's impact on creativity. The challenge celebrated imperfection as audiences increasingly crave human-made work over algorithmic perfection.
Researchers have designed a satellite system that could protect Earth from catastrophic solar superstorms by creating a giant plasma wall in space. The six-satellite constellation, called StormWall, could cut a superstorm's intensity by more than half and is "quite feasible" according to experts.
NASA is challenging innovators to design small satellites that can adapt in real time to help farmers and forests thrive. The $400,000 competition seeks to transform space technology into a tool for healing our land.
A SpaceX rocket just carried the first spacecraft with robotic arms designed to repair and extend the lives of satellites 22,000 miles above Earth. The mission could save billions by fixing satellites instead of replacing them.
After a month-long delay, Rocket Lab is launching a South Korean satellite designed to monitor natural disasters in near-real time. The mission represents a major step forward in protecting lives through better early warning systems.
SpaceX has filed with the FCC to launch up to one million satellites for orbital data centers powered by solar energy. The ambitious proposal would create the world's first space-based computing network designed specifically for artificial intelligence.
Scientists from the University of Portsmouth and Saudi space company SARsatX are designing a new Earth observation satellite to tackle climate challenges together. The mission brings two countries together to monitor our changing planet and build lasting partnerships in space science.
Japan just perfected a cheaper, simpler way to reach space. The country's new liquid-only rocket design opens doors for more affordable satellite launches.
Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin just unveiled plans for TeraWave, a massive satellite network designed to deliver ultra-fast internet to businesses and governments worldwide. The ambitious project could expand global internet access and spark healthy competition in the growing space connectivity market.
Singapore's Prototype Island exhibition debuts at Milan Design Week 2026, showcasing how designers merge quantum computing, AI, and 4D printing with traditional craftsmanship. The exhibition proves technology and heritage can work together to solve real-world challenges.
Fifteen Thai furniture companies are wowing international audiences at Milan's premier design show, proving that ancient craftsmanship and modern innovation make beautiful partners. Brands like Deesawat and Kenkoon are putting Thailand on the global design map with stunning pieces that honor tradition while embracing the future.
A shoebox-sized Australian satellite just wrapped up over two years in space, traveling the distance to Jupiter while capturing hundreds of images and detecting stellar explosions. The mission exceeded expectations and proved Australia can design, launch, and operate cutting-edge space technology.
A Bengaluru team is designing a satellite system that could guide drones and autonomous vehicles with centimeter-level accuracy, solving problems GPS can't handle. Their low-orbit approach promises stronger signals that work indoors and resist jamming.
A new satellite company just got the green light to launch over 4,000 satellites that could bring secure, interference-resistant internet to businesses and governments worldwide. The technology promises to fix one of the biggest problems plaguing today's satellite communications.
