The ZhuQue-3 launch vehicle completed its maiden flight with all primary mission events performed nominally. The first stage flight was normal, stage separation performed as planned, and the fairing jettison and first stage landed precisely within the designated area. The second stage performed normally and achieved the target orbit, marking a complete success of the orbital launch mission. During the first stage recovery system verification test, engines thrust throttling operated normally, attitude control remained stable, and the down range recovery trajectory was nominal. An anomaly occurred as the first stage approached the designated recovery zone. No personnel safety issues occurred. China’s first rocket recovery attempt achieved its expected technical objectives.

Literally shaking! Behind the scenes of a special test 🚀 Earlier this year, Redshift, our third stage, completed a full vibration test campaign in flight configuration! Unlike isolated component checks, this was the real deal: all systems integrated and tested under simulated launch conditions. Because launch is no gentle ride. Everything must endure intense vibrations and still perform flawlessly. The result? Electronic connections remained strong, the systems (including antennas, telemetry, flight computer, navigation systems) stayed up and running, and we obtained valuable data to further refine and improve. Enjoy this glimpse of Team Redshift and their work behind the scenes, turning challenges into progress, one test at a time!

Canada's first orbital-class rocket engine is now being manufactured! Our patent pending Hadfield-150 engine is the largest and most powerful rocket engine ever built in Canada, and the first known Canadian orbital-class engine to make it to this stage. The Hadfield-150 builds on everything we learned after years of painstakingly designing, manufacturing, and testing the Hadfield-10 series, our first regeneratively cooled and additively manufactured liquid rocket engine. Every engine test, both successful and unsuccessful on our Darkhorse test stand at Area 66, retired risk that's now carried straight into Hadfield-150 and sovereign orbital launch for Canada. A few details about the Hadfield-150 engine series: ✅ Designed to power Tundra and Tundra+, our light and medium-lift launch vehicles, and built to scale to Tempest, our larger reusable medium lift vehicle ✅ Manufactured entirely in-house, from design to print to test, for true sovereign launch capability ✅ Produced at Rocket Factory 1, on our expanding fleet of metal additive manufacturing systems at the AMA Lab, including the largest known metal 3D printer in Canada ✅ Designed for reusability and medium-lift scale from the outset, and built to significantly cut the time, infrastructure, manufacturing and cost iterative engine testing usually requires, with room to scale to even larger engines by leveraging the same design ✅ Capable of engine-out functionality, so losing one on an early flight doesn't have to mean losing the mission ✅ Optimized for Canada's Launch the North initiative, to deliver sovereign operational capability in a time and cost efficient manner Initial testing starts later this year at our new Blackhawk orbital engine test cell at Area 66, our private test range in Ontario. Stacked, integrated vehicle testing comes later at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex, our spaceport in Newfoundland and Labrador. Stay tuned for some exciting and fiery milestones ahead! 🚀🇨🇦 National Defence Defence Research and Development Canada Canadian Space Agency Transport Canada NGen Canada

Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty). The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space. Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

STARSHIP FLIGHT 13: WHAT TO EXPECT THIS WEEK SpaceX is targeting Thursday, July 16 for Starship Flight 13 — the second flight of the upgraded V3 vehicle. Here’s what we’re expecting on this test flight: • Second flight of the new V3 Starship and Super Heavy booster, incorporating upgrades and lessons from Flight 12 • First test deployment of next-generation Starlink V3 satellites • Continued evaluation of the improved heat shield and reentry performance • Controlled splashdown of the upper stage in the Indian Ocean • Further testing of the new launch infrastructure at Starbase This flight is primarily focused on validating the V3 design and building operational confidence. A booster catch attempt is not expected on Flight 13, but it remains a strong possibility for Flight 14 if this mission goes well. Overall, Flight 13 is another step toward increasing launch cadence and proving out Starship’s reusability at scale. The long-term goal remains clear: dramatically lower the cost of getting mass to orbit

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐗 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨𝐯. 𝟏𝟕 SpaceX, under the leadership of CEO Elon Musk, is on the verge of conducting its second Starship test launch, scheduled tentatively for November 17, contingent upon receiving regulatory approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This launch, taking place at the Starbase test site in Boca Chica Beach, Texas, is a pivotal step for SpaceX's ambitious Starship and Super Heavy booster program. The first Starship test flight in April encountered challenges, leading to a stage separation failure and subsequent intentional detonation over the Gulf of Mexico. The upcoming test aims to address these issues and demonstrate advancements, such as a new hot-stage separation system and an electronic Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for the Super Heavy Raptor engines. Standing at nearly 400 feet tall and boasting a lift capacity of 165 tons, the Starship and Super Heavy launch system is a revolutionary project for SpaceX. The company envisions its versatility, not only as a heavy-lift launcher but also for deep space missions and even lunar landings. NASA has plans to leverage the Starship rocket for its Artemis 3 mission to land astronauts on the moon. SpaceX has diligently worked on upgrades based on lessons from the initial test flight, including enhancements to the pad foundation, a water-cooled steel flame deflector, and a new vent system. The upcoming launch will be closely monitored to evaluate reentry and landing techniques, setting the stage for future success in orbital flights. However, the regulatory landscape introduces an additional layer of complexity. The FAA is conducting an environmental review, with consultation from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to assess the impact of SpaceX's new water deluge system on the Boca Chica Wildlife Refuge. This precautionary step reflects the commitment to responsible aerospace practices. Despite these challenges, SpaceX has set up a dedicated website for the Starship Second Flight Test and plans to share a live webcast on November 17, offering enthusiasts and stakeholders a closer look at the technological strides and innovations in the pipeline.

🔥 Exactly a decade ago, we ignited our first rocket engine. Today, we’re igniting Europe’s path to space. Since 2015, we’ve grown into the largest private European developer of rocket engine technology, with the ability to design, manufacture, test, and fly liquid-fuelled rocket engines entirely in-house. With the TEPREL engine family, we’ve successfully demonstrated spaceflight-proven technology. Now, with TEPREL-C, we’ve taken a bold step forward, with our first fully internally developed turbopump, one of the most complex subsystems in propulsion engineering. At PLD Space, we're not just following the path, we're defining the future of space access.

South Korea has successfully completed the first fully successful flight test of the KALCM Cheonryong (Korean Air-Launched Cruise Missile), which is expected to become the primary long-range strike weapon of the future KF-21 Boramae multirole fighter. On June 25, the missile was launched for the first time from an FA-50 light combat aircraft. After separation, it successfully ignited its main engine, stabilized its flight, and completed the entire test profile as planned. The successful flight comes after two unsuccessful attempts in January and March, when the missiles crashed into the sea due to failures in the ignition of the main propulsion engine following launch.

Blue Origin New Glenn rocket launched for third time ever today (April 19) — but for the first time with previously flown hardware. Shortly after separation. the first stage of the rocket successfully landed on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. The mission, called NG-3, attempted to deliver BlueBird 7, a direct-to-cellphone internet satellite, to low Earth orbit but '"the payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit. We are currently assessing and will update when we have more detailed information," according to Blue Origin. NG-3 flew the same first-stage booster core that launched NG-2, but with new engines.
