A drag-forecasting neural network timed Cosmos-482's fall to within two minutes in a hindsight test

Indonesian researchers paired a neural network with orbital mechanics to predict Cosmos-482's 2025 reentry within two minutes. Low Earth orbit holds 25,060 cataloged objects, nearly double a decade ago, and the check covered only three falls, each tested after the fact.

Crew-13's Dragon targets a U.S. record with a 7-hour-50-minute trip to the space station

NASA's Crew-13 launched four crew Thursday on a Dragon due to dock at the space station 7 hours 50 minutes later, a U.S. record by NASA's account. NASA stated the record before the docking took place, so it holds only once the 7 p.m. arrival happens.

SpaceX Crew-13 will fly stem-cell heart and Parkinson's tissue models to the space station

NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 will fly four astronauts from three agencies to the space station no earlier than Oct. 1. Its research includes human stem-cell-derived heart and Parkinson's tissue models, and their value will depend on how they compare with matched samples kept on the ground.

Bureau 1440's newest 16 satellites are stalling 250 to 310 miles below their target orbit

Moscow has treated a Starlink substitute as a priority since SpaceX cut Russian forces off on February 1, yet only 12 of the 32 satellites Bureau 1440 has launched are holding a durable altitude. The record does not yet say which link failed.
