NASA’s Dawn asteroid-belt probe has used its solar-electric propulsion system to achieve orbit around Ceres.

U.S. Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) took nearly a month to openly acknowledge to the press that one of the country’s oldest satellites fragmented into 43 pieces in orbit last month, creating a debris field.

Six DMSP satellites are now left to provide the weather data needed for the military.

"That was an amazing effort," said NASA spacewalker Terry Virts.

Russia plans to end its participation in the International Space Station after 2024, and develop its own national space station in low Earth orbit.

Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO Marion Blakey is leaving her position to become CEO and president of RRNA at the company’s Reston, Virginia, headquarters, and chair its U.S. board of directors.

To fulfill its NASA contract to deliver cargo to the International Space Station, the company says it is on track with plans to use a United Launch Alliance Atlas V to lift its next Cygnus pressurized cargo carrier to the station this fall.
