Space news: launches, missions and the sky above
Latest report · November 14, 2026
Jspace News covers rocket launches, space missions, astronomy and the space industry, reported from agency and mission sources and checked before we publish.
All five scoping meetings, November 17-19, will now be virtual, and comments are due December 7. SpaceX wants far more launches from South Texas.
Lanteris, the former Maxar Space Systems, supplied $215 million of it, and the CEO says the company remains "laser focused" on its IM-3 Moon mission.
Small shifts from launch have been measured and corrected, the mission's November 13 update says. Next, the coronagraph's deformable mirrors get a workout.
Sky Watch Explainer
By our reading of JPL data, the ice giant comes within about 2.76 billion km of Earth, but a nearly full Moon shares its patch of sky that week.
Third-quarter revenue fell 7% to $84.2 million and the net loss reached $807 million. The satellite maker narrowed its 2026 forecast to $380-400 million.
The latest reports, newest first.
The 200-second firing on November 5 matched predictions, ISRO said. The engine is to fly on GSLV-F19 with the NVS-04 satellite; no launch date was given.
Launches Explainer
NASA has targeted no earlier than November 29 to launch CRS-25 on a Falcon 9. The Cygnus XL is then to stay at the station until May 2027.
NASA's rover team chose the Nazca block for its disc- and needle-shaped forms, which one idea says grew as crystals. Lab results were still to come.
Four volunteers left NASA's mock Mars habitat in Houston on October 31 after 378 days; nobody left Earth. Two weeks of debriefs follow, NASA says.
Gemini North and Webb data point to two feeding black holes about 18,100 light-years apart, but NOIRLab says lensing is not yet fully ruled out.
Astronomy Explainer
Astronomers chain parallax, stars of known brightness and redshift to span the universe, and the expansion rate they give disagrees with a second method.
Papers published November 10 describe how a planet would mark the gravitational waves from paired white dwarfs, and how Webb could confirm it.
SWPC ties the likely G1 days to coronal-hole solar wind. At G1, NOAA says, auroras are commonly visible at high latitudes such as northern Michigan and Maine.
Sky Watch Explainer
Mars and Jupiter appear 1.2 degrees apart on November 15-16, the Leonids peak around November 17 and a supermoon follows on November 24, NASA says.
The proposals, open for comment until December 9, would change how operators show protection against multiple-casualty events. A fourth rule fixes errors.
Revenue rose 73% from a year earlier and backlog reached $3.57 billion, Rocket Lab said, while a flaw in a composite tank pushed back its new rocket.
