NASA Psyche will slingshot past Mars at extreme speed for rare metal asteroid mission

NASA Psyche will slingshot past Mars at extreme speed for rare metal asteroid mission

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is making a high-speed practice swing past Mars to harness a gravity boost toward a rare metal asteroid. Named after the target, the robotic explorer will perform a slingshot at about 12,333 mph, snapping thousands of images along the way. The main rendezvous is planned for 2029, turning Mars flyby data into mission-critical prep.

Astronomers uncover rotating cosmic filaments spanning hundreds of millions of light years

Astronomers uncover rotating cosmic filaments spanning hundreds of millions of light years

New research finds enormous cosmic filaments in the universe’s web are slowly rotating. These faint structures stretch hundreds of millions of light-years and link galaxy clusters across vast distances. The observation challenges older ideas that matter’s large-scale evolution was mostly static, instead suggesting these colossal “bridges” are dynamic and have been changing for billions of years.

CRASH Clock warns satellites could collide within days if control is lost

CRASH Clock warns satellites could collide within days if control is lost

A new study introduces “CRASH Clock,” estimating how quickly satellites could collide if they lose control—possibly within days. Researchers say solar storms can knock out communications, leaving spacecraft unable to maneuver. With more satellites than ever in orbit, including thousands of avoidance moves by Starlink, the paper underscores an escalating collision threat as launches surge.

Pixxel and Sarvam to launch Pathfinder orbital data centre processing space data in orbit with AI

Pixxel and Sarvam to launch Pathfinder orbital data centre processing space data in orbit with AI

Pixxel and Sarvam have joined forces to build “Pathfinder,” an orbital data centre satellite that runs AI models directly in space. Instead of sending raw data back to Earth first, the craft will process large volumes in orbit for faster, real-time insights. The approach could strengthen data sovereignty while boosting capabilities for environmental monitoring and resource management with less ground infrastructure.
