Separation confirmed! ✅ The SpaceX rocket has demonstrated its... ability to withstand the extreme conditions of launch. Our next big milestone will be to acquire #MissionToPsyche's signal and confirm the spacecraft is in good health, which could take up to 2 hours.show more

SpaceX is building a giant air separation plant next... to Starbase. Buying rocket propellant ingredients by the truckload gets old when you plan to launch all the time. The plant will make liquid oxygen and nitrogen on-site. Less tanker traffic. Less waiting. More Starship operations. Classic SpaceX: Build the rocket. Then build the factory next door that boosts launches. SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Jannéshow more

Electra has high fuel efficiency to perform stationkeeping and... long-duration maneuvers that preserve chemical propellant for the rapid maneuvers that define the Mira spacecraft. The result is greater operational flexibility and more mission capability from a single spacecraft. Next milestone: flight. 🚀 Electra will be demonstrated in space on the GEO Express 1 mission aboard Caravan 1.show more

MethaneSAT has successfully separated from the SpaceX #Falcon9! We're... in orbit 🌌 The spacecraft will now boot up its computer and 'detumble', using its actuators to slow down the spinning caused by the deployment.show more

Our Blue Ghost Mission 2 milestones are stacking up...... 22 feet to be exact! The team completed structure qualification testing at NASA JPL on our fully stacked Blue Ghost lander and Elytra Dark orbiter model. After a series of vibration and acoustic tests, this milestone helps prove our spacecraft are equipped to withstand the intense environments they’ll experience during launch and in transit to the Moon. Congrats to the team and thanks JPL for the hospitality at y'alls historic test facility. More on the mission here:show more

What’s next? SPACE! 🤩🌌 Following today’s flight data analysis,... our next mission will be a rocket-powered spaceflight to assess the customer experience and ground-based testing prior to the launch of commercial service. More → #VirginGalacticshow more

Space used to be one‑and‑done: launch a satellite and... make the most of its capabilities. Our Mission Robotic Vehicle (MRV) is like a multi-tool in orbit, inspecting, repairing, upgrading and extending the life of existing spacecraft.show more

SPACEX ABOUT TO OWN 98% OF EARTH’S ORBIT? The... rest of the space race is running on fumes - SpaceX is still full throttle! Orbit Report: •⁠ ⁠Starship’s next-gen launch power could take SpaceX from 90% to 98% of global payloads •⁠ ⁠China’s Zhuque-3 is catching up fast - in just 26 months of dev time •⁠ ⁠Blue Origin’s New Glenn? Still in the lab after two decades of “serious development” At this rate, everyone else will just be paying rent in SpaceX’s orbit! Source: Elon Muskshow more

The first rocket to the Moon and Mars will... be American, launched from American soil. 🇺🇸 Congratulations to Elon Musk & the entire SpaceX team. The future is going to be incredible.show more

Success! ✅ MTG-I2 is on its way to geostationary... orbit. After acquiring signal, the satellite has been confirmed healthy. As the third satellite in the Meteosat Third Generation constellation, MTG-I2 will provide weather forecasters with unprecedented views of Europe and Africa, helping to improve forecasts and deliver earlier warnings of severe weather. 🔗show more

🔥Big News!🔥 #1CatChain is coming! ✅ The most interesting... #BitcoinLayer2 🐱 ✅ #1CAT and BTC will be the Gas token ✅ Testnet will launch this week ✅ Mainnet will launch between March and April, aiming to be the FIRST #BitcoinLayer2 with Mainnet launched Check out our Roadmap about 1CAT Chain ℹ️show more

Good news, the new Ariane 64 booster rocket is... launched making Europe be at the top of the space race! With this booster each rocket can put in orbit up to 36 satellites, what is excellent and make it competitive versus SpaceX. Europe is there people 🇪🇺show more

Separation complete: #EarthCARE is alone in space for the... first time. The satellite will now automatically deploy its solar array and begin transmitting telemetry. Next up: the all-important ‘acquisition of signal’ from Hartebeesthoek ground station in South Africa in approx. 40 minutes.show more

This is unacceptable. Either Minister McGuinty didn't know, which... is failure of leadership, or he did know and is lying to Canadians. As Minister of National Defence, he is regularly briefed, and has the ability to get briefed as frequently as he requests. This should be his first priority especially when our troops may be in harms way. It appears that once again the Liberals are changing their stories to cover up their incompetence. I will be holding the Minister to account next week in Parliament.show more
