Amazon’s Kuiper satellites to get boost from rival SpaceX

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2026-01-20 20:26:10

Amazon’s race to challenge SpaceX in orbit is getting a helping hand from its chief competitor: SpaceX itself, which will launch the next batch of Amazon’s Project Kuiper internet satellites skyward on Wednesday. A flock of 24 Kuiper internet satellites will ride aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket before dawn. The mission, dubbed KF-01, has a 27-minute launch window that opens at 2:18 AM ET and will lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Once complete, it will bring the total number of

‘Not that into peace doves’: The Apollo-Soyuz patch NASA rejected

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-22 10:58:21

Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, three NASA astronauts and two Russian cosmonauts lifted off to meet up in orbit for the first time. Representing the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP, or Soyuz-Apollo in the Soviet Union), both crews wore a cloth patch that featured the artwork of an accomplished space artist. The design that flew, however, was not the astronauts' first pick. That patch idea was rejected because Paul Calle opted to highlight the détente nature of the international handsha

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2026-01-22 15:00:00

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

The Structure of Ice in Space Is Neither Order nor Chaos—It’s Both

wired.com Jorge Garay 2026-01-25 23:00:00

Ice is a key component in the universe. There are frozen water molecules on comets, moons, exoplanets, and in your drink as you cool off from the summer heat. However, under the microscope, not all ice is the same, even though it is made of the same components. The internal structure of Earth’s ice is a cosmological oddity. Its molecules are arranged in geometric structures, usually hexagons that repeat each other. Ice on Earth forms this way due to the temperature and pressure of the our plane

For Algorithms, Memory Is a Far More Powerful Resource Than Time

That classic result was a way to transform any algorithm with a given time budget into a new algorithm with a slightly smaller space budget. Williams saw that a simulation based on squishy pebbles would make the new algorithm’s space usage much smaller—roughly equal to the square root of the original algorithm’s time budget. That new space-efficient algorithm would also be much slower, so the simulation was not likely to have practical applications. But from a theoretical point of view, it was n
