SUSIE’s vertical landing capabilities draw comparisons to SpaceX’s Starship. Europe’s not quite there yet, but it’s a step in the right direction.
French aerospace giant ArianeGroup revealed a new concept for a reusable upper-stage spacecraft called Smart Upper Stage for Innovative Exploration, or SUSIE.
Elon Musk said the “next big test” is likely a full stack wet dress rehearsal of Starship.
SpaceX’s massive Starship rocket continues to pass key tests on its road to sending the Mars-bound launch system up to orbit for the first time.
The private space firm fired seven Raptor engines on its Starship Super Heavy prototype, called Booster 7, on Monday, September 19. As Space.com points out, it is the highest number of next-generation engines ever tested simultaneously.
Artificial gravity is the new black.
Vast, a California-based startup, has revealed that the company will develop artificial-gravity space stations to enhance human productivity in space. With a team of exceptional engineers, industry experts, k and an aerospace engineer and former vice president at SpaceX, Hans Koenigsmann, the company aims to create a setting where people can live as well as work in space.
The solar system has an incredible amount of resources.

SpaceX has had many successful launches, compared with Boeing, which hasn’t flown its Starliner rocket yet, NASA’s administrator told Newsweek.
It could support non-combat activities such as humanitarian relief operations and medical missions.
Commercial space company Sierra Space, which is developing the shuttle-shaped Dream Chaser spacecraft for transportation solutions, has signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) transportation command for point-to-point global terrestrial delivery of military materiel and personnel.
Both organizations will develop solutions using the Dream Chaser spaceplanes, Shooting Star cargo modules, and on-orbit infrastructure that provides unique capabilities for precise, cost-effective, and timely global delivery of Department of Defense logistics and personnel through space.
The company’s developing a rocket reuse method that uses helicopters to pluck boosters out of the sky.
Rocket Lab, the company that’s building the technology to pluck first-stage rocket boosters out of the sky for reuse, reached a new reusability milestone, a press statement from the company earlier this month confirmed.

This will make solar the cheapest type of clean energy.
The biggest challenge with solar power is that it can be produced only during the day. This is also one of the major reasons why many people and industries abstain from investing in solar panels because they are not a stable source of power. However, 26-year-old innovator and entrepreneur Ben Nowack claims to have developed a method that would allow solar energy production during the night as well.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 first stage reached orbit for the 14th time, while Starship will soon go orbital for the first time ever.
SpaceX is readying Starship for orbit. The private space firm fired up the engines of its Starship prototype, Ship 24, as part of a static fire test that brings it closer to launching the fully reusable spacecraft to orbit for the first time.
