India Reaches Orbit — Privately — Today's Space News

On the 57th anniversary of Apollo 11, India’s Skyroot Aerospace makes history with the debut orbital flight of Vikram-1 — becoming the third nation on Earth with a private orbital launch capability. We also unpack Psyche’s Mars flyby science, a four-billion-year-old Martian impact record read by Perseverance, strong evidence of an atmosphere on the habitable-zone world LHS 1140b, shrimp feeding in simulated microgravity, and the emerging science of hearing black holes “ring.” Plus a Southern Hemisphere skywatch with an aurora australis chance midweek.
