Agility Robotics, the humanoid robotics startup that spun out of Oregon State University in 2015, expects to generate $620 million in proceeds.

"It is an incredible exhibit and incredible sight."

The purpose of Starfall is to support the "transport and delivery of goods through space."

Researchers say the discovery could be a “Rosetta stone” for cosmic signals.

SpaceX has told NASA it plans to launch Starship every eight days from Kennedy.

Reflection AI will pay $150 million a month beginning July 1, 2026 through 2029 for immediate access to Nvidia's latest GB300 AI chips and supporting hardware across SpaceX's Colossus 2 data center near Memphis, Tennessee.

The Space Force wants to cut the time to field new satellites from years to weeks, days, or hours.

"I don’t know of a bigger question we can answer as humans."

It did so in just five years.

The space agency shared footage of tests with its Ernest prototype rover.

NASA mission to save a falling space telescope is ready to launch.

SpaceX's AI1 satellite spans 70 meters tip-to-tip — wider than a Boeing 747 — and it exists entirely to run AI inference in low Earth orbit. Elon Musk posted the reveal video to X on June 9, 2026, ahead of SpaceX's IPO, with a three-word summary: "much simpler than Starlink." Each satellite produces 150 kW of peak AI compute and 120 kW sustained. SpaceX's roadmap calls for 1 GW of orbital AI compute capacity by late 2027, which at 150 kW per satellite means manufacturing roughly 6,700 AI1 units per year. To hit that number, they are building an 11-million-square-foot facility in Bastrop, Texas called Gigasat — nearly twice the floor area of Tesla's Gigafactory Nevada, dedicated to satellite production. The question is not whether the engineering works. SpaceX has launched more than 7,000 Starlink satellites. The question is whether orbital AI compute makes economic sense at scale, and that question nobody has answered publicly yet. The Reveal Wasn't Accidental SpaceX filed for its IPO at approximately $75 billion valuation in early June 2026. Musk's June 9 reveal of AI1 arrived within days of that filing. Orbital AI compute is the narrative SpaceX needs to justify a valuation that goes beyond launching satellites for other people. Every terrestrial cloud provider — AWS, Google Cloud, Azure — is competing for land, power, and cooling capacity to support the next generation of frontier AI. Musk's pitch is that those three constraints don't exist in space. The physics backs him up. The economics remain unproven. Why Space Has Structural Advantages for AI Compute The AI1 satellite's design exploits two physical realities that are impossible to replicate on Earth. Power is essentially free. In a sun-synchronous LEO orbit, a satellite receives near-constant solar illumination. SpaceX's solar arrays achieve 250 W/m² power density without atmospheric attenuation. The marginal cost of electricity after the capital investment in the array is close to zero — no grid contracts,

Relativity Space, the rocket company led by former Google executive Eric Schmidt, was picked to launch NASA's Aeolus payload to Mars in 2028, as reported earlier by TechCrunch. Under a new public-private partnership, Relativity Space will provide the "spacecraft, rocket, and cruise operations" to fly Aeolus to Mars, where the payload will "provide the first […]

A French launch startup is scrapping the name of its rocket, apparently due to a trademark issue.

"I consider this a success already, just from the fact that we're even going to try this."

"We are reassigning most affected employees across existing opportunities and programs."

One previously unreported SpaceX investor has ties to Chinese military contractors.

Two expeditions, two spacewalks, 322 days in space.

NASA has teamed up with Eric Schmidt's Relativity Space for a 2028 Martian mission.

Underneath an Apennine massif, below the Jinping Mountains of Sichuan, and at the bottom of a South Dakota mine, there is a cosmic hunt afoot. Isolated deep beneath these rocky shields, massive detectors filled with liquid xenon aim to make the first direct detections of dark matter, the long-sought invisible substance whose gravity has sculpted…
