In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, we are sharing this gallery of images from all five of the Hubble servicing missions. Astronauts serviced Hubble for the first time in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble between 1993 and 2009. How did astronauts repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope more than 300 miles above the surface of the Earth? Watch Hubble astronauts as they discuss servicing from the innovative Robotics Operations Center: bit.ly/2EiiNTP S103-E-5308 (23 December 1999) --- Astronauts C. Michael Foale (left) and Claude Nicollier hover above Discovery's aft cargo bay during their shared space walk to perform servicing tasks on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The photo was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC). Credit: NASA NASA image use policy. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA’s mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Goddard plays a leading role in NASA’s accomplishments by contributing compelling scientific knowledge to advance the Agency’s mission. Follow us on Twitter

Booster 18.3 looks so clean 🔥

Photos taken on September 10th show that NASA has integrated 2 of the 4 ogive panels on the Launch Abort System for Artemis II. These panels protect the spacecraft during ascent and jettison with the launch abort system shortly after SRB separation.

Launch companies double down on increasing flight rates despite setbacks Launch companies are reiterating plans to sharply increase flight rates to meet growing government and commercial demand, even as some fall short of earlier projections.

I missed this back in April: the D-Orbit
Amazing Antonius tug, SCV016 (launched in 2025 Jan) boosted orbit during Apr to an elliptical 310 x 1210 km one, much higher than any previous ION mission. It's maintaining that orbit, perhaps to test out hosted payload rad tolerance

Yesterday Astranis announced that their Block 4 mission will launch on Falcon 9 with Impulse Space's Helios kickstage! Set to launch in 2027, the mission will see Falcon 9 deploying Helios with 6 MicroGEO satellites into LEO, after which Helios will take them directly to GEO!

SpaceX is preparing to add a new ship to their fleet! It'll be named "You'll Thank Me Later", and will be used to transport Starship vehicles from Starbase to Florida.

It's possible this will be the Marmac 308 barge, which was launched 2 weeks ago.

Yoo 🤘😎

Starship is funny

Since you might not have seen it, let me repost this info about the next update again. I'm currently working hard on finishing it up before next flight. But might take a little longer due to the OLM getting a much bigger upgrade than initially anticipated.

Starship is awesome 😎👍

I got 12 K hours

my steam page for kerbal space program showing 10,000 hours

i did it, 10,000 hours of ksp

SpaceX is retiring Landing Zone-1… but why? For the story about why this historic landing sight will no longer be at their disposal, watch the video:
