How would Starship Flight 15 catch both the booster and the ship?
Flight 15's dual-catch plan means two separate recoveries: Booster 22 first, then Ship 42 after its return. What to watch, what success means and what is still TBD.

How many satellites does India have? 56 working, 135 launched, and what has changed since
India had 56 operational satellites in February 2026, out of 135 launched, the government told Parliament. Here is the breakdown by type, what ISRO's own space report counts, and what has changed since.
Moon & Mars
Why is Artemis going to the Moon's south pole? Water ice, sunlight and a lot of unknowns
NASA wants its first Artemis landing and its Moon Base near the lunar south pole. Here is why: ice hidden in craters that never see sunlight, ridges that stay lit for long stretches, and some of the oldest ground on the Moon. India's Chandrayaan-1 helped prove the ice is there.

What happened to New Glenn? The explosion explained, and when it flies next
Blue Origin's New Glenn exploded during an engine test on 28 May 2026. Here is what went wrong, how the pad is being rebuilt, when it may fly again, why NASA's Artemis III depends on it, and how it compares with Starship.

Is Starship going to Mars in 2026? Why SpaceX is skipping this window, and when it could go
No. The 2026 Earth-Mars launch window is open now, but SpaceX has moved its focus to the Moon and says Mars cargo flights start no earlier than 2028. Here is what changed, and what has to happen first.

PSLV vs GSLV vs LVM3: how India's three rockets compare
PSLV is ISRO's workhorse for lower orbits, GSLV carries 2-tonne satellites towards geostationary orbit, and LVM3 is the heavy lifter. Size, power and record compared, from ISRO's own figures.
Starship
How does the Starship catch work?
Starship's booster flies back to its launch tower, and two giant arms catch it in mid-air. How the catch works, what has happened so far, and what SpaceX says Flight 15 will try.

Artemis III: launch date and crew
Artemis III is a planned 14-day Earth-orbit test in 2027, not a Moon landing. NASA has named four astronauts; Artemis IV targets the first landing in 2028.
