Aaaaand it won't happen today. Ariane 5 rocket’s last launch postponed yet again.
This was to be the one hundred and seventeenth and at the same time the last ever flight of the already legendary Ariane 5 rocket, so it’s no surprise that the eyes of the entire space sector were on the spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, today. The launch, however, will not take place today. Evidently, […]

It’s hard to believe today that just two years ago, shortly after the Perseverance rover landed on Mars, engineers were giving the first drone on the Red Planet a maximum of 30 days to live. Time flies, months pass, years pass, and this one still has no intention of letting go. Ingenuity arrived on Mars […]
