NASA's interactive ISS Tracker delivers stunning real-time 3D visualization of the International Space Station's orbit using cutting-edge web technologies. We examine the technical architecture powering this public-facing space dashboard and what developers can learn from its implementation.

satellitemap.space launches an interactive 3D globe for tracking Starlink, GPS, and other satellite constellations in real-time. This WebGL-powered tool offers developers and space enthusiasts unprecedented access to orbital dynamics, with future plans for launch schedules and re-entry events.

Australia's first domestically designed orbital rocket, Eris, crashed just 14 seconds after liftoff during its debut test flight. Gilmour Space Technologies confirmed no injuries and plans a second launch within six months, calling the attempt a 'giant leap' for the nation's space ambitions. The failure highlights the brutal challenges of rocket development as Australia pushes to join the orbital launch club.

Researchers have demonstrated a Cu-Al-Mn-based shape memory alloy that achieves unprecedented shape memory effect and high work output across cryogenic temperatures (50-270K), overcoming a fundamental limitation of conventional alloys. This breakthrough enables practical cryogenic actuators for space telescopes, superconductors, and liquid gas systems, validated by a functional mechanical heat switch prototype operating at 100K.
