3D atlas of solar system shows all the asteroids too

100% Left coverage: 1 sources

The Atlas of Space shows one star, eight planets, ten dwarf planets, moons, comets, asteroids, spacecraft and trans-Neptunian objects. All in slowly-orbiting 3D. Clicking on these celestial objects brings up a detailed encyclopedia entry about it; for example, Huygens. An exemplary interactive visualization, it's the work of Gordon Hart and the antidote to those "not even right" vortex animations. — Read the rest The post 3D atlas of solar syste…Spacecraft Read Article

NASA Phase II SBIR Contract Awarded to Benchmark Space Systems

A NASA Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract has been awarded to Benchmark Space Systems to advance development of our Aquila Small Spacecraft Transfer Stage (SSTS), a low-cost, small spacecraft compatible solution engineered for delivery of payloads to high-energy orbits, including lunar destinations.“Winning Phase II positions Aquila as a game-changer for small satellite missions requiring access to orbits previously domi…Spacecraft · United States Read Article

ESA’s JUICE Probe Uses Venus Flyby to Stay on Track for Jupiter’s Icy Moons

The European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) successfully executed a Venus flyby on August 31, 2025, using the planet’s gravity to speed toward Jupiter. Engineers overcame a brief antenna glitch before the maneuver, and the spacecraft endured Venus’s intense heat by shielding itself with its high-gain antenna.Spacecraft See the Story
