#Orbit

Technologies developed to remove space junk and fix broken satellites can be repurposed to build fleets of bodyguard spacecraft to protect important assets from attacks.

I took an SSTO, got into orbit, the orbit box checked for the passengers, kerbin was checked too. I then deorbited and did a maneuver on the way down that caused them to pass out. Still incomplete.…

Space junk is a growing threat, and Britain's $81 million active debris removal mission aims to grab dead satellites with robotic claws and destroy them in Earth's atmosphere.

I don't have volumetric clouds because I honestly preffer AVP from orbit, even though it does sacrifice the in flight beauty of vc submitted by /u/A_transfem_cutiepie [link] [comments]

i can only seem to get my rockets halfway to orbit before they start spinning out of control leaving me unable to manuver them into orbit submitted by /u/le-epic-cleetus [link] [comments]

We have the mandate, we have the resources, and the support from our stakeholders."

Watchdog also warns retiring Falcon and Dragon could leave US access to orbit short of a backup

I'm trying to get my first kerbal in orbit, but after a few dozen try I feel I do something wrong. If I understood correctly, I need to be at >70km with a speed of nearly 3000 m/s, and both apsides up to 70 km.…

Looking for advice on building big ships. My issue is low frame rate, parts randomly exploding but most importantly.. attached parts start separating / levitating. I figured I should use less parts but I could only bring it down to about 500 parts.…

Japan launched the MMX spacecraft on an H3 rocket from Tanegashima at 4:41 a.m. Oct. 20 Japan time to collect samples from Mars' moon Phobos.…

Using a planet’s atmosphere to secure a satellite’s place in orbit, a process known as “aerocapture”, has been the dream of flight engineers for decades. The only problem? It’s really hard to actually do.…

Object 4 decayed out of a 300km parking orbit while 15 of its batch-mates slowly climbed toward operational altitude.

I want to show you a number: 166 MB. That's how much disk space LangChain takes up. For a library...

The Landsat 10 Spacecraft Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) is available for review via SAM.gov as of May 18, 2026. This solicitation marks a major milestone in continuing the decades-long partnership between NASA and the U.S.…

How do you maintain spacecraft 22,000 miles away? DARPA wants to find out with the first launch of the dexterous, deep-space robot program as soon as this summer.

Instead of running silent and deep, most satellites easily stand out against the blackness of space.

A new study identifies the transitional point in the solar cycle when orbital decay accelerates — giving satellite operators and debris trackers a clearer picture.
