The recent structural failure at Baikonur Cosmodrome has done more than damage a launch pad — it has temporarily halted Russia’s ability to send humans into space for the first time in over 60 years.
Solar activity is rising—and with it, the risk of radiation-driven disruptions to spacecraft electronics. From bit flips to latchups, single-event effects (SEE) are becoming a defining engineering challenge for modern satellite and deep-space missions. As transistor sizes shrink and mission durations grow, resilience to solar weather is no longer optional. This article explores how SEEs occur, their impact on spacecraft, and the technologies designed to keep missions safe.
Jim Lovell’s legacy extends beyond the missions he flew. He has inspired generations of engineers, scientists, and leaders.

Space travel involves the exploration of outer space beyond Earth’s atmosphere using various spacecraft and technologies. Here’s an overview of how space travel works. Launch Spacecraft are launched into space using rockets. Rockets carry the spacecraft beyond Earth’s atmosphere, allowing them to reach space. Launches require careful planning and coordination to ensure safety and success.
In a stunning demonstration of resilience and expertise, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams recently etched her name into the annals of space exploration history by breaking the record for the longest cumulative spacewalking time by a female astronaut. Amid technical challenges that have extended her mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS), Williams’ record-breaking extravehicular activity
