Over the next four years, NASA is preparing to put human test subjects in the seat of an air taxi virtual reality flight simulator. Test rides on the six-axis simulator are meant to simulate the flight of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in order to help NASA study turbulence on planned air taxi services in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and elsewhere in the U.S. The data will be shared with AAM industry partners to help them develop passenger-friendly designs.

It’s been almost two weeks since Boeing’s Starliner defied all odds and made it into space. Despite some troubling helium leaks, NASA greenlit the launch, sending two astronauts into space aboard Boeing’s spacecraft. A few engine issues later, and the spacecraft docked with the ISS successfully. Everything seemed alright. They started preparing to come home. Now, because of those same helium leaks, Starliner’s astronauts will remain aboard the ISS until at least July 2—possibly longer.

SpaceX to Deorbit the International Space Station in 2030, Give or Take

It may seem counterintuitive, but bringing down the venerable International Space Station is a bold step toward the future of space exploration. NASA has selected SpaceX to develop the U.S. Deorbit Vehicle for the International Space Station (ISS), making way for future missions. This vehicle will ensure a safe and controlled deorbit of the ISS at the end of its operational life in 2030, protecting populated areas from potential debris.
