Scientists at the University of Surrey have devised a method to chart the most efficient routes for spacecraft, mirroring the way drivers use sat-nav to navigate on Earth. This new technique harnesses mathematics to outline potential paths from one orbit to another, sidestepping the need for extensive computational resources or trial-and-error approaches.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has accused the administration of President Joe Biden of "power grabbing" with the White House's proposal to incorporate state Air National Guard servicemembers into the United States Space Force. Abbott is opposing Legislative Proposal 480, sent by the Department of Defense's Department of the Air Force to the Senate Armed Services Committee in March that asked Congress to override an existing law requiring governors to approve changes to National Guard units with the goal of shifting several hundred members of Air National Guard units into the Space Force.
