These photos show how engineers with conducted testing on a 1.2% scale model of SpaceX’s Super Heavy Version 3 rocket booster at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley. The tests focused on better understanding the extreme aerodynamic forces the rocket can experience during re-entry and builds on a previous test series completed at [...]

Photo of the Day Solar System bodies make deep space exploration more fuel efficient! Today’s video shows the Psyche spacecraft gaining speed and changing its trajectory with minimal fuel spent due to a gravity assist from Mars in May 2026. Mars has an average orbital speed of almost 87,000 km/h (54,000 mph) around the [...]
