Bengaluru startup Aule Space is developing 'jetpack' satellites designed to dock with ageing spacecraft, take over propulsion duties, and extend their operational lives by up to five years using AI-powered computer vision.
India's Gaganyaan mission hits milestones: Human Rated Launch Vehicle development, crew escape system testing, and infrastructure setup completed, with first uncrewed mission targeted for Q4 2026.
India's Kaveri jet engine, initially dropped from the Tejas programme, is being revived with a push for self-reliance in military aviation, aiming to develop sixth-generation fighter engines within 5-7 years, leveraging decades of accumulated expertise for future combat aircraft like AMCA
Bengaluru-based Spacetech startup Bellatrix Aerospace anticipates a more than fivefold increase in revenue this fiscal year, projecting "a few tens of crores" in FY27, up from Rs 2 crore annually over the past three years. This growth is fueled by increased commercial production of satellite propulsion systems, a $20 million fundraise in March, and rising global demand for in-space mobility.
Airbus and MTU Aero Engines are forming a joint venture to develop hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems for future aircraft, aiming to bring the technology from research to market by 2027. This collaboration seeks to create a European leader in next-generation aviation technologies.
A report in Naval & Merchant Ships detailed fires, electrical failures, and propulsion issues on advanced US warships, citing excessive deployments, tech overreliance, and inadequate shipyard support as critical vulnerabilities.
Au moins 30 personnes ont été tuées dans des frappes russes sur Kiev, qualifiées par le président ukrainien de «pire attaque depuis le début de la guerre». Le président Zelensky craignait une offensive d'envergure.
Pakistan inducts first Hangor-class submarine, a Chinese Type-39A derivative with AIP, as part of an 8-submarine deal by 2028, while India faces delays in its submarine modernization, maintaining numerical superiority despite challenges.
Kalashnikov Holding has enhanced its Haska hovercraft, increasing its carrying capacity to 20 metric tons without altering its dimensions. The upgrade focuses on the propulsion system and was revealed at the Fleet-2026 defense show.
NASA is opening up bids for the management of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) as its contract with Caltech expires in 2028. This move aims to explore competitive market benefits, enhance innovation, and find efficiencies, potentially involving other universities or defense contractors.
India's DRDO successfully test-fired a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) off the Odisha coast, a development that could place any country worldwide within its strike range. This achievement signifies India's mastery of complex rocket propulsion and guidance systems, enhancing its strategic deterrence capabilities.

Testing shows rotor blades won't disintegrate when they spin at supersonic speed.
DRDO has developed a revolutionary air-independent propulsion (AIP) system for submarines, with land-based prototype tested in 2021. The system is in final preparation at L&T Hazira plant in Gujarat and will be installed in India's 14th submarine at Mazagon Dock in Mumbai. The AIP system will significantly enhance submerged endurance of diesel-electric submarines, with DRDO also developing a torpedo-mounted missile capable of destroying submarines 400km away, hypersonic glide missiles, and laser-directed energy weapons.
NASA, 2026 yılının ilk büyük testinde lityum metal buzarıyla çalışan Manyetoplazmadinamik (MPD) itici sistemini başarıyla ateşledi. 120 kilovat güç seviyesine ulaşan motor, 2.800 dereceyi aşan sıcaklıklarda çalışarak geleneksel kimyasal roketlere kıyasla %90'a varan yakıt tasarrufu sağlayacak. Psyche uzay aracının motorlarından 25 kat daha güçlü olan bu prototip, Mars'a insanlı görevlerin yolculuk süresini kısaltmak için gereken yüksek itiş kapasitesine sahip.
Annie Easley began as a ‘human computer’, performing complex calculations by hand before electronic systems took over. She later became a programmer at NASA, contributing to propulsion and energy research. Her career reflects adaptability and a lasting impact on modern space exploration.

US Navy destroyer USS Spruance intercepted Iranian-flagged cargo vessel TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman on Saturday after the ship ignored repeated warnings to stop. The destroyer fired several rounds from its 5-inch MK 45 gun into the vessel's engine room, disabling its propulsion. US Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded and took custody of the ship. Iran responded by launching drones toward US warships and announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing violation of ceasefire conditions by the US naval blockade.
US Navy intercepted the Iranian-flagged cargo ship TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored six hours of warnings. The USS Spruance fired its 5-inch MK 45 gun into the vessel's engine room to disable it, then US Marines boarded and took custody. Iran retaliated by launching drones toward US warships and announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz until the US naval blockade is lifted.
