"Game Changer": US to Build Space "Aircraft Carrier" to Protect Satellites
Startup Gravitics is working on an orbital carrier capable of deploying satellites in space on demand. It will provide protection for batteries and sensitive electronics.
If one of the important military devices is destroyed, it can be quickly replaced with a new one. This will not require a rocket launch.

NASA launched rockets directly into the northern lights. This is how scientists decided to improve the accuracy of satellites and GPS systems. The rockets sprayed colored tracers, which added blue, white and pink shades to the phenomenon.

The first German private Spectrum launch vehicle exploded during takeoff: the flight ended just 45 seconds after launch.
The rocket took off according to plan from the Annea spaceport in Norway, but soon deviated from the trajectory and crashed. During the launch of the spacecraft into orbit, there was a "rapid unplanned dismantling."
It is reported that this is the first launch of a launch vehicle from the territory of continental Europe. The company stated that the main purpose of the test flight was to collect data and gain experience.
The two-stage Spectrum rocket from Isar Aerospace, manufactured in Germany, has a height of 28 meters. It is designed to deliver cargo weighing up to 1 ton to low Earth orbit.
Before the launch, the company's executives noted that the second and third Spectrum rockets were under production.

Nuclear cold fusion is being tested in space to power an AI satellite An Indian startup promises to launch a reactor capable of cold fusion into orbit. An agreement has already been signed with an AI company. It is not yet clear how much sincerity and how much pseudoscientific manipulation there is in the partners' statements.

China has unveiled a new-generation cargo spacecraft, Qingzhou (Qingzhou), designed to supply space stations (primarily, of course, the Chinese national space station Tiangong). A life-size model of the spacecraft was shown at the aerospace exhibition in Shanghai as part of the celebration of China's Cosmonautics Day. Qingzhou, developed by the Academy of Innovation for Microsatellites of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is scheduled to make its maiden flight as early as 2025. The development team is currently finalizing the design and development of the software for the initial testing phase. The production of subsystems and components of the test ship is already in full swing, said Chief designer Chang Liang.
Qingzhou, which means "light ship" in Chinese, has an integrated single-capsule design with a cargo volume of 27 cubic meters and a lifting capacity of up to 2 tons. It is designed to transport scientific research and experimental equipment, various scientific cargoes and basic necessities for Chinese astronauts. The ship is equipped with a four-tier shelving system with 40 compartments for special cargo. It is noteworthy that it can carry up to 300 liters of cold chain products, providing astronauts with fresh food during space flights.
"Qingzhou is a fast and maneuverable spacecraft designed with the needs of astronauts in mind, characterized by low cost, high reliability, flexibility and intelligence," said Shu Rong, Qingzhou Project Manager.
In addition to servicing the Tiangong Space Station, Qingzhou will be used in the future to deliver commercial cargo into space. On the first flight of Qingzhou otr
