Starship SN15, equipped with three sea-level Raptor engines will attempt a high-altitude hop at SpaceX's development and launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. For this test, the vehicle will ascend to an altitude of approximately 10km, before moving from a vertical orientation (as on ascent), to horizontal orientation, in which the broadside (+ z) of [...]
Starlink-25 will lift off from LC-39A. Cape Canaveral, on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment, the 60 Starlink satellites will use their onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km.This will be the 9th flight of the SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster B1049. #SpaceX #Starlink #olhznlive❤❤ EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR MEMBERS [...]
SpaceX will dock with the International Space Station for the third time with their Crew Dragon capsule carrying 4 astronauts. The docking procedures and hatch opening will be preceded by a number of phasing and approach burns on the Crew Dragon capsule to complete the docking autonomously.SpaceX launched the second operational mission of its Crew [...]
SpaceX will launch the the second operational mission of its Crew Dragon vehicle as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Transportation Capability Program (CCtCap), carrying two NASA astronauts, one JAXA astronaut, and one ESA astronaut to the International Space Station. This mission will be the second operational crewed flight to launch from the United States since [...]
NASA is getting ready to send astronauts to explore more of the Moon as part of the Artemis program, and the agency has selected #SpaceX to continue development of the first commercial human lander that will safely carry the next two American astronauts to the lunar surface. At least one of those astronauts will make [...]
Building on the incremental mission successes for the vehicle over the course of the program’s flight history, NS-15 is a verification step prior to soon flying astronauts. This mission will execute a rehearsal of astronaut movements and timing for future astronaut flights. One of the primary operations will entail Blue Origin personnel (“astronauts”) entering the [...]
Starlink-23 will lift off from SLC-40. Cape Canaveral, on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment, the 60 Starlink satellites will use their onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km.This will be the 7th flight of B1058. B1058 holds the bragging rights for launching the first crewed orbital mission [...]
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts aboard the International Space Station will mark another first for commercial spaceflight Monday, April 5, when the four astronauts will relocate the Crew Dragon spacecraft to prepare for the arrival of new crew members in late April and the upcoming delivery of new solar arrays this summer.Live coverage will begin at [...]
