Landspace has published a video from the Zhuque-3 reentry and descent, including some onboard camera footage. Great to see.

For 77 billion you could have a legit moon base and send a scientific mission to every planet, at least

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Completed - NASA Two technicians look up at NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope after its inner and outer segments were connected at the agency’s Goddard Space Flight

Holy moly: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope construction is completed! That's fantastic news — much needed right now — and I am very much looking forward to when this beast launches. It has 100X the field of view of Hubble.

One. Hundred. *At the same resolution*.

MORE Breaking on MS NOW: Pete Hegseth refused an interview request for the Pentagon Inspector General's investigation into Signalgate, according to two sources who read and were briefed on report.

Hegseth would not turn over his phone, a source who read the report told MS NOW.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.

SpaceX is ready for its next Transporter mission! With 140 satellites onboard, this is the largest Transporter mission since Transporter-1 in 2021, which carried 143 satellites. Here's my identification attempt. Launch is scheduled for NET 18:19 UTC.

Great. Love being a gator fan, been a really good time since urban left. Mediocrity at its finest

In the days after LVOS, ULA mated the 5 SRB's to the Atlas V rocket, with the final mate occuring on November 24th. Remaining are stacking of the Centaur III upper stage and the fairing with the 27 Amazon Leo satellites. Launch remains set for NET December 15th at 08:52 UTC.

This is just laundering Elons nonsense and his 180 on needing to “rescue the astronauts” long after nasa fully explained it all with an apples to orange comparison to China.

China had two space crafts available, one damaged and not flight worth. They did not have enough seats to get everyone off in an emergency, they had to go fast, butch and Sunni had a backup option in crew-8 capsule

There are major differences here. The US astronauts were on a test flight that was intended to last 10 days where as the taikonauts have been up there now over 200 days now.

Butch and Sunni were capable, prepared US astronauts who did a ISS expedition instead of coming home.

I don’t understand why they didn’t use the V2 that was working to check off some HLS requirements and instead used them to deploy dummy Starlinks. Seems obvious HLS is not a priority and hasn’t been for some time, only work we’ve seen on HLS is some renders in the past 3 years

The one thing an electric lacks which will hinder its acceptance by the public is autonomy. The ICE car makes use of a fully developed support system of gasoline stations, garages and part warehouses to assure that a car will continue to operate. The latter two will come as a natural result of a growing market, but the electrical equivalent of the corner service station must be developed since a driver who unexpectedly exceeds his vehicle must be provided with a way to complete his trip. A number of schemes are ossible. One simple approach will be to develop advanced high energy batteries to extend the vehicle range into the 100-200 mile class, increasing its usefulness and decreasing the possibility of a failure. Fast recharge schemes have been suggested, but average power levels in excess of 1 MW per vehicle would be required and it is unclear whether these power levels can be provided to a large network of stations. Battery exchange is available for fleet operations and could be used in emergencies by individuals. Another approach would be to install a small auxiliary engine in each car with a minimum performance and range capability to provide the driver with assurance that he can get home if his batteries run down.

We’re just a few days away from liftoff of ViaSat-3 F2, the next ultra-high-capacity Ka-band satellite in our global, multi-orbit constellation.

Well it was a monster industry, at the height it was approaching 10 billion dollars. Then the iPhone deleted them all over night basically

They think Jared would make any difference. He wouldn’t tweet as dumb of shit but he absolutely would still need to praise trump in every appearance. Thats literally the only actual objective of the job

Space twitter doesn’t understand that performance at the job is not a barometer for being successful in this admin. It’s all about going on TV and praising trump, that’s it, that makes you good at your job.

ISRO is officially preparing back-to-back LVM3 launches! First, LVM3-M5 is set to launch the GSAT-7R/CMS-02 communications satellite for the Indian Navy NET November 2nd. Next, LVM3-M6 is set to launch AST SpaceMobile's 1st BlueBird Block 2 satellite in the 1st week of December!

a tyrant is ignoring the constitution, firing live artillery at americans, invading our cities, and tearing down the white house to build himself a palace

our institutions won't react because they're lost in a digital dreamstate, unable to decide what is true because of social media poisoning

It’s not just young republicans, they are just the only ones stupid enough to put it in writing. I’ve heard all of that said out loud,except I love hitler, by 50+ y/o republicans.

This guy made his money by paying a bunch of people minimum wage to label photos for Ai training. Thats it

They are clearly trying to instigate and attack on the protest. Will end up being our reichstag fire

Shipped like 2 weeks ago. I only know cuz a guy in town randomly said his son was working on a NASA mission, asked some questions and he is heading to NZ for the launch! Really cool stuff, cool packaging up vid

Eta Space has shipped their LOXSAT payload to Rocket Lab for integration with the Photon satellite platform! LOXSAT is a demonstration of a cryogenic fluid management system in orbit, and part of NASA's Tipping Point Program. Launch on Electron is scheduled for NET March 2026.
