Subtle fluid shifts could transform spacecraft fuel, water, and life-support systems.
New research shows how small meniscus changes control liquid waves in low gravity, helping spacecraft systems run lighter.

SpaceX’s troubled Starship prototype pulls off successful flight after months of explosive mishaps
• SpaceX launched the 10th test flight of its Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket booster tonight. Both achieved successful splashdowns on opposite sides of the world during the roughly hour-long test.
• The test flight marked a signficant and encouraging stride forward for SpaceX’s Starship program, which had experienced a string of explosive missteps dating back to January.
• Tonight’s success could queue up SpaceX to conduct another boundary-pushing flight next month, aimed at improving the vehicle’s performance before SpaceX upgrades to a larger version of Starship next year.
[4K] Watch the largest and most powerful rocket launch live! Starship Flight 10
[TIME SUBJECT TO CHANGE] Liftoff NET 6:30 p.m. central [23:30 UTC] — One hour launch window.
SpaceX is launching the 10th full stack Starship with its Super Heavy booster. The booster will not be caught as SpaceX will attempt some more hazardous engine out scenarios with the booster, so it will splashdown off the coast.
But perhaps the biggest milestone is whether or not Starship S37 will be the first Version 2 vehicle to reach the goals of deploying dummy payloads, testing radical heatshield options, and ultimately propulsively splashdown in the Indian Ocean after the setbacks of Flight 7, Flight 8, Flight 9 and S36’s failures.

UPDATE: SpaceX Starship’s Historic 10th Flight Test | Launch, Landing, & Reentry Countdown
Join us LIVE for SpaceX’s Starship 10th Flight Test, streaming as soon as Sunday, August 24, 2025.This mission marks a major step forward following the Flight 9 investigation and Ship 36 static fire anomaly. Engineers have introduced critical hardware and operational upgrades to improve performance and reliability. For this flight, the Super Heavy Booster will conduct multiple experimental maneuvers, including: Landing burn tests to refine precision booster recovery Payload deployment trials to validate orbital operations Reentry experiments advancing Starship’s long-term reusability.

Folding spacecraft design could be enhanced with origami patterns
Folding spacecraft design could be enhanced with Japan’s ancient origami patterns.
Scientists are exploring a new class of origami structures that could help design and build different shapes for use in space. These structures are expected to be even more compact and reliable.
Called bloom patterns, the new class of origami structures developed at Brigham Young University fold up flat and unfold like flower petals. Researchers expect such designs could be used in telescopes and solar arrays as well.
These structures are suitable for use in spacecraft as origami-based designs could help fold up for launch and then unfold or deploy to their full size when required in space.
