A new company just joined the race to send private astronauts to space, marking a major milestone in making orbit more accessible. NASA selected Voyager Technologies for its seventh private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, launching no earlier than 2028.
America's lunar ambitions just got a major boost as Voyager Technologies acquires Astrobotic, the Pittsburgh company building the infrastructure to establish a permanent moon base. The $300 million deal brings together landing technology, power systems, and reusable rockets under one roof.
A $300 million deal just brought the U.S. closer to establishing a permanent base on the moon by 2028. Pittsburgh's Astrobotic, which launched America's first commercial lunar lander, is joining forces with Voyager Technologies to accelerate lunar infrastructure.
Space companies are shifting from short lunar missions to building permanent moon infrastructure designed for humans to live and work there by 2030. Voyager Technologies and partners are creating habitats, power systems, and life support that can handle the moon's harsh conditions.
Britain is pouring £62 million into developing its own satellite technology, helping businesses and researchers build better internet connections for remote areas and strengthen the country's space industry. The funding will support everything from startup ideas to major commercial projects, creating jobs and reducing reliance on foreign space infrastructure.
After 49 years in space, NASA's twin Voyager probes were running out of power and facing a silent end. A risky "big bang" maneuver just bought humanity's farthest messengers two more years exploring the cosmos.
Two space companies are joining forces to build expandable homes on the moon, racing to meet a White House goal of a permanent lunar base by 2030. Their innovative inflatable technology could give astronauts comfortable living spaces millions of miles from Earth.
Small farmers in Punjab, India are getting a technological lifeline through a new partnership with South Korea. The collaboration will bring advanced farming tools and vertical farming expertise to help make agriculture profitable again.
NASA turned off one instrument on Voyager 1 to save power, but the 49-year-old spacecraft continues exploring where no human-made object has ever been. Two science instruments keep sending data from beyond our solar system, 15 billion miles from home.
After nearly 50 years in space, NASA just pulled off a clever power swap to keep Voyager 2 exploring the cosmos. The aging spacecraft, now over 13 billion miles from home, will keep sending back data from the edge of the unknown.
NASA turned off one of Voyager 1's instruments to extend the 48-year-old spacecraft's mission exploring beyond our solar system. The probe, now 15 billion miles from Earth, continues sending back data no other spacecraft can collect.
NASA engineers just bought humanity's most distant spacecraft another year of life by pulling off a risky power-saving move called the "Big Bang." Now they're preparing to save its twin, Voyager 1, using the same technique.
Engineers at NASA just bought the legendary Voyager 2 spacecraft another year of exploration by turning off two heaters and freeing up precious power. The 46-year-old probe will keep sending data from the edge of our solar system a little longer.

Engineers pulled off a daring remote repair on NASA's Voyager 2 probe, now 13 billion miles from Earth, buying the 50-year-old spacecraft at least two more years of exploring interstellar space. The fix required swapping out heaters and waiting 40 hours to confirm success.
A sleek hydrofoiling ferry just proved electric boats can travel serious distances, completing a 160-nautical-mile journey up the Scandinavian coast. The voyage shows clean water transport is ready for the real world.
Egypt is creating "Technology Valleys" at universities to transform academic research into real products and businesses. The new system rewards professors for patents and startups, not just published papers.
The Netherlands just secured €214 million to lead the global race toward 6G networks, technology that could transform everything from factories to emergency deliveries. The country already set a world record during testing, and over 100 small businesses are lining up to build the wireless future.
Singapore is putting $100 million into turning maritime research into real world solutions that can reduce emissions and increase port efficiency. The five year plan focuses on getting innovative technologies out of labs and into daily operations at one of the world's busiest ports.
Malaysia just launched a $41 million program to develop advanced semiconductor technology at home, partnering five local companies with universities to capture 7% of the global chip packaging market. The initiative marks a major step toward tech independence in one of the world's fastest-growing industries.
Japan's space agency just achieved a major milestone in rocket technology, successfully launching and landing a reusable prototype that could slash the cost of space exploration. The breakthrough puts Japan one step closer to competing in the cost-cutting revolution transforming the global space industry.
