Four astronauts will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA's path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis.
​
​While Artemis II won’t land on the moon, it will make a near pass above the surface and demonstrate the Orion spacecraft’s ability to transport people safely.
SpaceX's Starship test flight is coming soon
San Antonio, TX — October 13, 2025 — SpaceX’s Starship program continues to push the boundaries of spaceflight with its upcoming eleventh flight test, opening a launch window at 6:15 p.m. CT / 1:15 a.m. CET (+1).
​
Over the past ten flights, Starship has demonstrated remarkable progress in reusability, high-altitude maneuvers, and booster performance, each mission providing critical data for the next generation of space operations. These tests have helped validate new heatshield designs, improve guidance and control systems, and refine approaches for future orbital launches.
​
The upcoming flight will focus on building on those successes, including Super Heavy booster experiments, heatshield stress tests, and maneuvers simulating a return to the launch site. Every mission brings engineers, scientists, and space enthusiasts closer to realizing sustainable, rapid-access orbital transportation.
​
Starship’s iterative testing approach reflects a bold vision: turning ambitious prototypes into fully operational spacecraft that can carry cargo—and eventually humans—reliably to orbit and beyond.
United States Space Force's SDA TAP Lab Apollo Accelerator
We’re thrilled to announce that Bauhaus Dessau Informatika LLC (dba SpaceApp) has been selected to join the United States Space Force's SDA TAP Lab Apollo Accelerator, Cohort 8!
​
As part of this cohort, BDI will spend the next three months advancing our Space Domain Awareness (SDA) solutions, contributing our expertise to enhance the safety and resilience of U.S. space operations.
This selection is a tremendous opportunity for BDI, marking a pivotal milestone in our mission to pioneer technology that ensures security in the space domain. We’re excited to be part of this future-focused initiative!
