NASA has started building a groundbreaking spacecraft called Dragonfly , a nuclear-powered drone designed to explore Titan , the largest moon of Saturn. The mission is scheduled to launch in July 2028 and could become one of the most ambitious robotic exploration missions ever attempted.   Dragonfly is not a traditional space probe. Instead, it is a rotorcraft that works like a large drone with multiple rotors. This design will allow it to fly from one location to another on Titan’s surface, collecting data and studying different environments. Scientists believe Titan holds important clues about the chemical processes that may have led to life on Earth.   A Drone Designed for an Alien World The Dragonfly spacecraft is roughly the size of a small car and features eight rotors that allow it to take off and land vertically. This design helps provide stability and ensures the mission can continue even if one rotor fails.  Unlike most drones, Dragonfly will be powered by...

A new development in the space technology industry has sparked attention. Amazon has formally asked U.S. regulators to reject a proposal from SpaceX that aims to build large-scale data centers in space using satellites. The request was submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for regulating satellite communications in the United States. What SpaceX Proposed SpaceX reportedly submitted an application seeking permission to deploy an extremely large satellite system that could function as space-based data centers . The proposal reportedly includes the possibility of launching up to one million satellites in orbit to support advanced computing infrastructure in space. According to the concept, these satellites could handle massive amounts of data processing and communication tasks directly from orbit, potentially supporting future technologies such as advanced artificial intelligence systems and global connectivity. However, Amazon believes t...
