ASCEND has wrapped, and with it Aerospace's Space Transformation Track, a full day of content tackling some of the most vital and fast-moving issues in the industry. May 2026 Experts say space nuclear power's biggest obstacles are logistical, not technical A workshop on nuclear capabilities on space dove into the opportunities and challenges that have surrounded this powerful technology since the first space race. May 2026 Building a lunar digital engineering community with LUNAverse A robust simulation goes beyond physics to model power, interactions, and even economic incentives — as LUNAverse initiative participants discussed this week at ASCEND. May 2026 "Proximity is power": Interest in VLEO surges despite technical challenges This niche orbit is attracting intense interest from government and commercial space organizations as the technology to operate within it matures. May 2026 Talent, data, and infrastructure: Aerospace's CEO on putting its superpowers to work Aerospace's new CEO, Tanya Pemberton, spoke with SpaceNews about the organization's particular set of skills, and why they're so valuable in today's increasingly fast-moving space industry. April 2026 Aerospace and Google prototype AI-assisted monitoring of satellite constellations Constellations are scaling from dozens to thousands of assets. Aerospace and Google have teamed up on a proof-of-concept AI tool designed to assist in managing these growing networks. April 2026 Europe may see shift in space priorities in EU budget proposal emphasizing security The next phase of the European space sector may see its "center of gravity" shift from the ESA toward the EU, as well as toward security and defense, according to an analysis by Aerospace's Mick Gleason. April 2026 Space takes the stage at SXSW 2026 SXSW is a dynamic conference full of innovators and creators: the perfect place to showcase the wide variety of efforts in the space industry — and Aerospace's role in advancing them. March 2026 Following a successful launch, DiskSat attracts its first commercial adopters Following its successful launch in December, DiskSat is now on orbit – and already in the hands of industry. Two companies have already lined up to adapt the flat satellite platform for their own use. February 2026 Aerospace team wins AIAA honors for innovative work on digital twins in reusable launch An Aerospace team taking on a major reusable launch challenge — predicting hardware fatigue and failure — has taken home a prestigious award from the AIAA. February 2026 Watch and learn how an Arctic Mars analog moves space exploration forward Aerospace's Trevor Jahn recently spent two weeks in the frozen north at the Mars Arctic Research Station doing what's called an "analog mission." Resarchers isolate themselves in a near-lifeless frozen desert, simulating... January 2026 USSF taps Handle to explore standardizing satellites With lead times shortening and the tech ecosystem accelerating, it's no longer practical to build every satellite from scratch. Handle is a project from Aerospace that makes power and connectivity "plug and play" — and... January 2026 Aerospace works with UMD team to observe asteroid Apophis's close flyby Don't be alarmed, but a skyscraper-sized asteroid is about to pass extremely close to the Earth — giving Aerospace and UMD researchers a chance to observe it up close. January 2026 Aerospace workshop identifies path towards safe, effective nuclear power in space Space-based nuclear power will be hugely important but require a great deal of foundational work before being ready for operations, concluded experts in a workshop convened by The Aerospace Corporation. December 2025 Successful launch puts all 4 DiskSats into orbit The DiskSat mission has successfully reached space after launching early this morning aboard a Rocket Lab Electron launch vehicle. Now the flat, round spacecraft are on their way to their respective orbits and will soon... December 2025 Watch DiskSat launch live tonight DiskSat, the latest (and flattest) demonstration mission from Aerospace's spacecraft design innovators, is about to launch — and you can watch it happen live tonight, if you don't mind staying up late. December 2025 DiskSat is ready to launch and show off the future of flat satellites Launch successful! Stay tuned for more news and updates from the team. December 2025 Aerospace researcher tests astronaut-monitoring tech in parabolic flight microgravity When you can't get to space, parabolic flights provide a helpful microgravity analogue. An Aerospace researcher got a chance to perform an experiment on one of these flights earlier this year, and now you can see what it... December 2025 The latest Tech Talks takes on CAVE Lab's autonomous systems In the latest episode of Tech Talks, Aerospace's Kevin Bell interviews Ben Bycroft, head of the CAVE Lab and director of the department that runs it. November 2025 SPARTEND combines space cybersecurity knowledge with AI detection smarts The threat of critical space infrastructure being disabled with nothing more than a keyboard has prompted a wave of cybersecurity research in the domain, including a new tool from Aerospace engineers called SPARTEND.
