Olivia Cooke is trying to recall her biggest “pinch me” moment since becoming a full-fledged star, but all she can do is cringe. The 31-year-old has dialed in from Majorca after jumping at the chance to vacation when not needed on the House of the Dragon set — “They’re off shooting a battle at the moment” — and is now …

SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft has successfully reboosted the International Space Station (ISS), raising the perigee of its orbit by approximately one mile and further eroding the complex’s reliance on Russian rocketry. The reboost kit, located in the trunk of the SpaceX CRS-33 Dragon cargo spacecraft, consists of two Draco engines. The system is isolated from the rest of the spacecraft, and …

A Dragon just pushed the International Space Station a little farther away from Earth. SpaceX’s Dragon cargo spacecraft successfully finished a test reboost of the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday (Sept. 3), according to NASA. The freighter fired two of its Draco engines for 5 minutes and 3 seconds during the maneuver, agency officials wrote in a Wednesday statement. …

Astronaut Megan McArthur has retired from NASA, ending more than two decades with the space agency. McArthur launched on two spaceflights, logging 213 days in orbit across her nearly 25 years, and held leadership positions at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. She lifted off on her first mission in 2009, aboard space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-125 mission — …

“Our capsule’s engines are not pointed in the right direction for optimum boost,” said Sarah Walker, SpaceX’s director of Dragon mission management. “So, this trunk module has engines pointed in the right direction to maximize efficiency of propellant usage.” When NASA says it’s the right time, SpaceX controllers will command the Draco thrusters to ignite and gently accelerate the massive …
