When a large experimental heat shield inflated in space and faced the brutal reentry of Earth's atmosphere last week, the aeroshell survived — and NASA officials have deemed it a "huge success."
First privately built Indian space rocket launches
The rocket, developed by local startup Skyroot Aerospace, reached a peak altitude of 90 kilometres (55 miles), below the internationally recognised 100-km Karman line that separates Earth from outer space .
"It is indeed a new beginning, a new dawn... in the journey of India's space programme," science minister Jitendra Singh said after the launch to a crowd of cheering technicians at the ISRO's launch facility on the southern island of Sriharikota.

Artemis 1 launch and heat shield test get NASA closer to Mars | Space
The agency's Artemis 1 mission launched on Wednesday morning (Nov. 16), sending an uncrewed Orion capsule toward the moon atop a huge Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
NASA is counting on SLS and Orion to help the agency establish a lunar base by the end of the 2020s — a key priority of the Artemis program .

WASHINGTON — The National Reconnaissance Office said it wants to expand the agency's use of commercial hyperspectral imaging, a technology that uses the electromagnetic spectrum to reveal the material makeup of an object or surface area.
The NRO, which builds and operates observation satellites for the U.S. government, released a solicitation this week calling for off-the-shelf solutions to support demonstrations and studies that will help determine how it might use hyperspectral imaging in the future.
LightSail 2 completes mission with… | The Planetary Society
The Planetary Society's LightSail 2 spacecraft has reentered Earth's atmosphere, successfully completing its mission to demonstrate flight by light for small spacecraft. LightSail 2 reentered sometime on Nov. 17, according to orbital predictions .
The reentry completes a mission of nearly three-and-a-half years, during which LightSail 2 showed that it could change its orbit using the gentle push of sunlight, a technique known as solar sailing.
Inflatable heat shield a 'huge success' that could land humans on Mars, NASA says - Erie News Now ...
When a large experimental heat shield inflated in space and faced the brutal reentry of Earth's atmosphere last week, the aeroshell survived — and NASA officials have deemed it a "huge success."
The technology demonstration could be the foundation of landing technology that puts humans on the surface of Mars.
Boeing Showcases Latest Autonomous Anti-Jam Technology for US Space Force
Boeing has demonstrated hardware-software integration on the US Space Force's protected tactical satellite communication prototype (PTS-P).
The prototype will process the US military's space-based Protected Tactical Waveform through software-defined beam-shaping.
