1 A new mission will aim to complete the first commercial satellite docking in low Earth orbit (LEO). However, the satellite it aims to dock with isn’t equipped with a docking adapter. Starfish Space is hoping to prove the concept of being able to dock to unprepared satellites for repair, refueling, or repositioning in orbit. The mission, known as Otter Pup 2, is now set to launch aboard the SpaceX Transporter-14 rideshare mission.

3 After a planned eight day mission to the ISS that launched in June 2024, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams splashed down near Florida over nine months later on March 18, 2025. The two astronauts missed family events, birthdays, and Christmas while engineers tried to determine whether Boeing’s Starliner capsule would be safe to return with the crew of two or, as they later decided, to integrate Butch and Suni into the Crew-9 mission and return back on a SpaceX Crew Dragon.

5 The first four humans to orbit Earth’s poles are sharing their experiences from their historic mission. In a discussion with NSF, the crew of Fram2 provided insight into their groundbreaking mission and what it’s like to view Earth from polar orbit. On March 31, 2025, a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida with the Crew Dragon Resilience on top.

4 Testing continues ahead of the first flight of Dream Chaser. The so-called “mini shuttle” will be the first spacecraft to dock to the International Space Station (ISS) and then land back at the Launch and Landing Facility (LLF), formerly the Shuttle Landing Facility, since the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. Tenacity, the first Dream Chaser flight vehicle, will fly cargo missions to the ISS under the Commercial Resupply Services-2 round of NASA contracts.

Today has been a day of disappointment in the space world, I think it's safe to say. Lost in all of the other news, a team of hard-working people from across the globe sent a spacecraft all the way to the moon, into orbit, but unfortunately couldn't stick the landing. Shoutout https://t.co/zmn7LI6cEn
There's a reason humans aren't allowed super close to a rocket when it's launching, y'know the whole wanting to stay alive bit. The good news is GoPros don't care, so here's a remote video view of yesterday's GPS III launch! (Best with sound on) You can follow action live on https://t.co/i7Bcnz3B4B
A faint vapor cone appears as Falcon 9 beats the weather sending a new GPS satellite on its way towards orbit. 1 hour before launch it was pouring and lightning but they threaded the needle perfectly! Watch the @NASASpaceflight replay: https://t.co/q02ZekQ4Py https://t.co/t0cOMonPKN
