The CRASH Clock is a new predictor of how much time there will be before a collision if a solar storm knocks out power and makes satellites impossible to maneuver.
The company is planning ways to meet the energy and computing needs of AI, even as the company mulls a merger with xAI.
Space debris has been a major safety concern for operations for years now, but SpaceX and Starlink think they've found a way to finally solve the problem.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to massively expand its orbital footprint in a bid to power next-generation artificial intelligence
Low-Earth orbit is more crowded—and fragile—than it looks. Satellites constantly weave past each other, burning fuel and making dozens of evasive maneuvers every year just to stay safe. A major solar storm could disable navigation and communications,
With satellites and space junk increasingly cluttering our planet’s low Earth orbit, a team of scientists warn that this entire region could suddenly collapse into a destructive maelstrom of swirling debris, posing a threat to any spacecraft that dares to venture up there, and hurling dangerous missiles of space junk down onto our planet below.
SpaceX has submitted a daring proposal to the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to launch a constellation of up to one million satellites int.
