On December 17, Starlink experienced an anomaly on satellite 35956, resulting in loss of communications with the vehicle at 418 km. The anomaly led to venting of the propulsion tank, a rapid decay in semi-major axis by about 4 km, and the release of a small number of trackable… December 18, 2025

NASA’s new boss Jared Isaacman walked into the job on Thursday and wasted no time shaking both SpaceX and Blue Origin, saying the agency will choose the company that builds a working moon lander first.
