CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX on Wednesday will launch a military communications satellite from Florida’s Space Coast. A Falcon 9 rocket will launch Hisdesat’s SpainSat NG I mission from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center.

Just past 2 a.m. Eastern time on Jan. 16, 2025, a new rocket blasted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. By reaching orbit, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket launch has marked a milestone for a commercial space company that has big ambitions.

One of the key questions about Blue Origin is whether it will push toward full reusability with New Glenn. In 2021, Ars first reported on an effort codenamed "Project Jarvis" to develop a stainless steel upper stage that could be reused. The company even built a test tank, although the effort was eventually shelved.

A world-leading designer of space robots says gigantic new rockets being tested by billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are creating a “Golden Age of Space Exploration.”

Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin joined the billionaire’s space race in earnest when its New Glenn rocket roared from a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center in the early morning hours of Jan. 16. The second stage with the Blue Ring payload successfully reached orbit. However, an attempt to land the first stage on a drone ship failed.

Southern California residents who were looking up at the skies early Friday were treated to a dazzling display as SpaceX launched 23 satellites into orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.

Landing and reusing boosters are critical to reducing costs in the commercial space industry, a feat pioneered by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets. Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp acknowledged the landing was a “stretch goal,” emphasizing the importance of learning from the attempt.

The "rapid unscheduled disassembly" of Elon Musk's Starship sparked chaos as some airspace throughout the Caribbean was closed for an hour and a half.

A tiny red Swedish-style cottage is set to become the Moon’s first "building," part of an ambitious art project now en route to the lunar north pole.

President Donald Trump made a bold promise to America minutes after taking the Oath of Office: pledging that an American flag would be planted on Mars.

Blue Ghost and New Glenn started off the year right. Many more launches are on the way, and many can be watched online.

Actor Jesse Eisenberg, who once portrayed Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, says he thinks the tech billionaire should focus on improving the world instead of inserting himself into
