A few hours ago, the Chinese Zhuque-3 Y2 rocket blasted off from the Dongfeng commercial area, carrying the Honghu-03 satellite. The second stage successfully reached orbit with payload separation, achieving a successful primary mission on this rocket's second flight, the first to deploy a real satellite into orbit. A goal for LandSpace, the company that developed the rocket, was to land the first stage, which was successful.

It was the afternoon in the USA when SpaceX conducted a new flight test of its Super Heavy rocket and Starship prototypes. This is the 13th test involving the entire system of Elon Musk's company. They are advanced prototypes with the Super Heavy identified as Booster 20 and the Starship identified as Starship 40 or Ship40 or simply S40. It was the second test of the vehicles in their Block 3 version.

A space station is an orbital structure where astronauts live and work during long-term missions. It is located in low Earth orbit and is used for scientific research, experiments, and the study of life in space. The most prominent example is the International Space Station (ISS), which is operated in collaboration with various countries.
