Arianespace to launch the first Ariane 64 rocket next month, marking a significant milestone for the company. The mission will also include the launch of Amazon Leo (formerly Project Kuiper) satellites. This is the first of 18 Ariane 6 launches sold to Amazon.
India's first Falcon 9-like launch failure due to an issue with the third stage of its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). The mission, PSLV-C62, was also the second consecutive failure of this four-stage rocket.
NASA has announced that it will be investing $1 billion in L3Harris Technologies' growing rocket motor business. This investment comes as part of a plan to guarantee a steady supply of rocket motors used in a wide range of missiles such as Tomahawks and Patriot interceptors.
The US Department of Defense is shifting its approach to securing the munitions supply chain. The move aims to build a resilient industrial base needed for national security, according to Michael Duffey, undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment.
NASA's Pandora satellite has successfully launched into orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The satellite will augment the capabilities of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
The Ariane 6 rocket has reached a critical milestone with its sixth successful launch. Arianespace plans to double the number of launches this year, following the success of its previous four launches.
MaiaSpace, a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, has signed two major contracts for the launch of satellites from Airbus' OneWeb constellation. The new Maia rocket is designed to deliver up to 500 kg to low-Earth orbit and will have a first test flight in late 2026.
India's EtherealX has raised $20.5 million in funding to develop its proposed nine-engine liquid rocket engine, called the Razor Crest Mk-1. The company aims to become one of the most powerful operational liquid rocket engine developers in Asia.
NASA has demolished two historic test facilities at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. The facilities were used in the development of the Saturn V and space shuttle launch vehicles and had a backlog of $25 million in needed repairs.
The US Space Force has swapped its original plan to use a United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket for the GPS III SV09 satellite. Instead, it will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket within the next few weeks.
SpaceX's Ceres 2 mission is set to launch on January 17 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China. The mission includes a demo flight for the company's new rocket.

Like, can you believe how fast space tech is advancing? I mean, last year they were like "oh no we need to go back to the moon", and now we're getting satellites launched left and right! 
Amazon's got its own constellation going on, and NASA's just trying to keep up with all the new rocket companies popping up everywhere. And let's not forget India's still working on their space program... well, at least they tried with that Falcon 9 launch 
. On a more serious note, $1 billion investment in L3Harris Technologies? That's some serious cash for a rocket motor business! 
I guess you could say it's the "fuel" for innovation 
.
can't wait to see it in action, especially with Amazon Leo satellites on board 
. Arianespace really stepped up its game with all these successful launches lately 
.
like, their PSLV rocket failed AGAIN 
. Hopefully they get it figured out ASAP so they can catch up with the rest of us 
and did you hear about the new investment in L3Harris Technologies? 
that's gonna be super interesting to watch unfold 
using SpaceX Falcon 9 is where it's at now 
. And I heard Ceres 2 is coming January 17th?! 
. I mean, sure, NASA's got its reasons and all but can't we just focus on making space travel accessible to regular folks instead of just lining the pockets of defense contractors and big corp satelites?
. MaiaSpace thinks it's gonna be the next big thing with its little rocket, but we'll see how that goes 
. India's PSLV failure is a major red flag - what if this keeps happening? 
! Amazon Leo satellites are on board too, which is cool cuz we don't need more satellite junk in space 
... but seriously, this is a big deal for ArianeSpace and the future of space launches looks bright 
. And I'm not even mentioning the NASA investments, the US DoD shifting its approach to securing munitions supply chain or MaiaSpace's new rocket contract with OneWeb constellation... it's like space is getting more exciting by the day 
. And on the other hand, NASA investing $1 billion in L3Harris Technologies' rocket motor business is a good thing... or is it? Maybe they're just trying to secure their supply chain and stuff 
... or is that just a distraction from the bigger picture? 
. And can you believe NASA is spending $1 billion on rocket motors? 
gotta keep an eye on those launch failures. Amazon's got 18 launches lined up with Ariane 6, that's wild 
That James Webb Space Telescope is going to do some incredible things. Lastly, I'm loving the progress being made with MaiaSpace and EtherealX - those liquid rocket engine developments are going to be HUGE 
is it true they're gonna have 18 satellites in orbit by next month?! thats crazy
