Boeing and Aurora Flight Sciences are suing Virgin Galactic for unpaid work and trade secrets related to a new mothership aircraft for Virgin Galactic’s next-generation space planes.

SpaceX fired the engines on the upper stage of its next Starship vehicle, performing a key test ahead of the giant rocket's fourth test flight.

SpaceX has moved the upper stage of its next Starship vehicle to the pad for testing ahead of a test flight, which could lift off as soon as early May.

The third launch of SpaceX's Starship sent shock waves through the air, clearly visible in a stunning new slow motion video that captures the ignition of the spacecraft's 33 Raptor engines.

SpaceX's Starship uses greener propellant than other rockets, but its environmental footprint could still be substantial if plans for hundreds of launches per year come to pass, experts warn.

SpaceX hopes to launch the fourth test flight of its Starship megarocket just six weeks or so from now, according to the company's president and COO.

SpaceX has given us an astronaut's-eye view of the company's new emergency-escape slide in action at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

A future, more advanced version of SpaceX's Starship megarocket will travel to other star systems, according to Elon Musk.

The FAA will oversee a SpaceX-led investigation into what happened on the third test flight of the company's Starship megarocket, which occurred March 14.

SpaceX's Starship reached space and achieved orbital velocity during its March 14 test flight, but more work is needed before it can land NASA Artemis astronauts on the moon.
