As usual, SpaceX is testing its Starship rockets in Texas after finishing a record-breaking 96 space missions late last night. The engines of SpaceX's Starship rocket system have been fired up, making Friday a busy day at the company's Boca Chica, Texas, facilities. The world's largest rocket, Starship, is scheduled to make its third orbital test flight by the end of 2023. There's a good chance that this test will mark the first time that Starship tries to launch a payload into space.

Samsung Electronics is developing a "smart sensor system" to regulate and oversee semiconductor processes, according to ETNews. Productivity gains and an increase in semiconductor yield are anticipated from this system. Real-time monitoring and analysis of the production process is the aim of the smart sensor system. It has the ability to identify potential problems and offer fixes to raise output and yield. Samsung intends to progressively broaden the scope of smart sensor development and applications.
China has launched four new meteorological satellites successfully, which is a noteworthy accomplishment in space exploration. Launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, the mission represents a significant advancement in the country's capacity for meteorological research and space technology.
You might question whether someone who says they want to take tourists to the edge of space via balloon will ever move past the ideation stage. But Space Perspective has overcome it by creating a real-world prototype of its Neptune spacecraft.
A NASA study suggests that 17 exoplanets—worlds outside of our solar system—may have liquid water oceans beneath their icy shells, which would further the search for extraterrestrial life. Sometimes, as geysers, water from these oceans could burst through the ice crust. For the first time, estimates of the amount of geyser activity on these exoplanets were determined by the scientific team. They found two exoplanets that were close enough for telescopes to detect evidence of these eruptions.
Since the RPG's September release, Bethesda has been steadily releasing updates for Starfield; however, these have primarily consisted of bug fixes and minor tweaks.
