For more than a decade, the Earth observation industry has insisted that commercial adoption is just around the corner. Yet adoption outside defense remains limited, uneven, and difficult to sustain. The question is no longer whether EO is valuable, but whether the industry is delivering it in a form commercial users can actually use. The […]

Scientists have produced the most detailed map yet of the dark matter that threads through the Universe, revealing how this invisible component has guided the formation of galaxies, stars and planets over cosmic time.
The new map, created with observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and published in Nature Astronomy, traces dark matter in a region of sky in the constellation Se

To an untrained eye, the aircraft engine sitting outside a Cincinnati area facility in December looked like standard hardware. For NASA and GE Aerospace researchers watching the unit fire up for a demonstration, it represented a hybrid engine performing at a level that could potentially power an airliner.
The engine, tested at GE Aerospace's Peebles Test Operation site in Ohio, is a modifi

Feed documentation
DOC-NEWS
REFERENCE
Where does this space news come from?
Every story on the Delta-V news feed is written and published by an outside outlet — SpaceNews, NASASpaceflight, Space.com, ESA, Ars Technica and dozens more — and reaches the page through the Spaceflight News API. Delta-V displays the publisher's own headline, thumbnail and summary, then links straight to their site. Delta-V does not host, rewrite or republish article text.
How often is the spaceflight news feed updated?
The feed is re-fetched every thirty minutes and always ordered newest first, so a story normally appears on Delta-V within an hour of the publisher posting it. Each card shows how long ago its story was filed, and hovering the timestamp gives the exact publication time in UTC.
Can I filter space news by outlet or search for a topic?
Yes. The source chips above the feed narrow it to a single outlet, and the search box matches text in headlines and summaries. Both controls write to the URL — /news?source=SpaceNews or /news?q=starship — so a filtered feed can be bookmarked, shared or reopened from browser history.
Do these articles open on Delta-V or on the publisher's site?
Every headline opens the publisher's own page in a new tab. Delta-V is an index, not a mirror: the reporting, the images and the ad revenue belong to the outlet that produced the story.
Where do I find launch dates rather than news?
Launch schedules live on the Delta-V launch pages, which carry a live countdown, pad, vehicle and mission detail for every upcoming orbital flight. The news feed covers reporting about spaceflight; the launch schedule covers the flights themselves.
