𝗠𝗜𝗨𝗥𝗔 𝟱 𝗠𝗼𝗰𝗸-𝗨𝗽 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀! Our team has successfully completed the MIURA 5 strongback testing using a full‑scale mockup that accurately replicates our launcher’s inertia and mass distribution. This enables us to validate the hydraulic systems, mechanical interfaces and the load‑resistance capability of the fore clamp, the system that secures the rocket to the strongback. This approach decouples final vehicle integration from the launch pad, enabling us to: ✅ Optimize ground infrastructure. ✅ Overlap operations and cut turnaround times. ✅ Improve efficiency and support a higher launch cadence. MIURA 5 strongback is now ready for shipping to CSG launch complex in French Guiana! #GoMIURA5

From factory floor to launch site, the Terran R program is gaining serious momentum. Here’s the latest from May across design, build, test, and launch: 🖌️ Design: 17+ component-level Critical Design Reviews completed—rapidly releasing simpler parts like trays and manifolds ahead of structural assembly. ⚒️ Build: The LOX dome was successfully loaded onto the CFSW for its second weld, and the stage 2 transfer tube is now being welded—key steps toward completing the second stage tank. 🔥 Test: Aeon R engine qualification officially kicked off Stennis Space Center with 11+ hot fires in the books in May. 🚀Launch: Cape Canaveral’s LC-16 saw construction milestones—like the completion of the east flume wall in the diverter pit. Plus, we welcomed Robin Petitprez as SVP of Manufacturing & Supply Chain, strengthening our ability to industrialize Terran R at scale.

New Glenn’s first and second stages are now mated – a big step toward launch. Here is a fun time lapse video (from the factory cameras) of us moving the integrated vehicle to the Transporter Erector (TE). The New Glenn simulator can be seen in the middle of the clip, an important part for ground support equipment validation. We will spend the next days on final checkouts and connecting the umbilicals. Stay tuned for rollout and hotfire!

Hey Canada, we have a spaceport! 🇨🇦🚀 NordSpace's beautiful Atlantic Spaceport Complex (ASX) is officially under construction outside the town of St. Lawrence, in Newfoundland and Labrador! With our first launch of a Canadian commercial rocket from a Canadian commercial spaceport set to take flight in the coming weeks, the future of a true sovereign capability for assured access to space has never looked so promising. We're thrilled to share footage of ASX's SLC-02 publicly for the first time. ASX will support NordSpace’s first commercial launch of our Taiga suborbital rocket with Taiga's launch window opening on August 25th 2025. Taiga is powered by the company’s proprietary 3D-printed Hadfield Mk III liquid rocket engine, and the mission is named "Getting Screeched In". The launch window is subject to road and power interruptions due to the ongoing state of emergency in Newfoundland and Labrador. This launch follows a series of successful tests, including a fully integrated rocket test and a month-long qualification campaign for the Hadfield Mk III engine. Both demonstrated rapid refurbishment capabilities and turnarounds between tests, paving the way for reusable and cost-effective launch operations from Canadian soil. ASX is designed to support our Tundra orbital launch vehicle and partner launch vehicles, facilitating a wide range of orbital and suborbital missions situated at a 46 degree latitude. The initial $10M phase of development for the Atlantic Spaceport Complex will feature two sites: 🚀 SLC-01 will feature two launch pads for orbital missions including NordSpace’s Tundra vehicle and international launch partners from the U.S. and Europe. 🚀 SLC-02 will consist of at least one smaller launch pad for suborbital missions, radar systems for vehicle tracking and space domain awareness, and other ground support equipment to enable all launch operations at the ASX. The ASX will also support NordSpace’s broader portfolio, including our SHARP (Supersonic and Hypersonic Applications Research Platform) program. NordSpace’s CEO and founder, Rahul Goel, said, “The start of construction at the Atlantic Spaceport Complex is a seminal moment for Canada. This is not just about building a launch site; it’s about building a future where Canada leads in space exploration, innovation, and security. The ASX is critical national infrastructure that will unlock assured access to space, ensuring our sovereignty and fostering economic growth for generations. We are committed to making the vision of a true sovereign end-to-end space missions capability a reality, and today’s groundbreaking is a testament to our team’s relentless dedication, speed, and capability.” We thank Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, Transport Canada, National Defence, Canadian Space Agency and NAV CANADA for their support.

#SpaceX is preparing to move the massive new #Starship launch mount structure for #Starbase Pad B to the launch site for installation. In this post, I’ll give an overview of the design and use my 3D models to calculate the structure’s mass in its current configuration. This new launch mount, nearly an entire redesign, is SpaceX’s best effort at correcting many of the issues discovered with the mount at Pad A after a handful of launches. The only similarity between this mount and the original launch mount for Pad A is that 20 arms will still be used to support the #SuperHeavy booster before liftoff. However, the arms and everything else making up the structure are entirely different.

We're not rebuilding the same pad for New Glenn. We're moving to a horizontal/vertical hybrid configuration to get us flying again this year at 36A. We were already working on something similar for 9x4 at 36B. Let me explain what that means. We mate the stages horizontally in the Integration Facility (IF). Then we bring the integrated vehicle out to the pad, use a crane to perform the vertical breakover, and mate the payload once New Glenn is vertical. This new ConOps has the added benefit of increasing our flight cadence as well.

A rocket damaged the only launch pad at Baikonur. The launch of the Soyuz 2.1a rocket carrying the Soyuz MS 28 spacecraft proceeded smoothly. The crew entered orbit and successfully docked with the ISS. However, damage to launch pad components was discovered on the pad. The lower retractable service cabin failed to retract into its protective niche and fell into the gas chute. Roscosmos stated that spare parts are available and repairs will begin quickly. If sufficient components are available, repairs could take approximately six months. This poses a problem because this pad at Baikonur is currently the only one capable of launching manned and cargo Soyuz spacecraft to the ISS. The launch of Progress MS 33 is scheduled for December 21, 2025, and another Soyuz is planned for next year. Meanwhile, Vostochny is not yet ready, Plesetsk is not in the trajectory, and Baikonur Pad 1 is mothballed.

🚨 Artemis II LAS Hatch Closed Successfully- Pad Clear Next!🚨 NASA teams have now closed the Launch Abort System (LAS) hatch on Orion during today’s Artemis II rehearsal at Launch Complex 39B, simulating the final moments of launch day pad operations. The LAS hatch provides access to the Orion crew module through the abort tower and must be securely sealed before launch. This system is designed to rapidly pull the astronauts away from the rocket in the event of an emergency during ascent; meaning hatch integrity is directly tied to crew safety. After closure, the closeout crew: • Verified mechanical seals • Checked environmental conditions inside the spacecraft • Performed leak checks • Confirmed Orion is properly configured for flight operations Securing this hatch is a major milestone and indicates the spacecraft is now essentially in its launch configuration. Next, once all inspections are complete, the closeout crew will depart the pad, leaving the rocket and spacecraft to continue through the countdown just as they would on launch day.

Just 8 days after the final stack of Superheavy-B16. B17's common dome section has been moved to the front of MB1 for stacking operations. As expected, the pace of vehicle assembly will have to increase dramatically in order to keep up with SpaceX's goals for Starship Launch Cadence in 2025. We are rapidly approaching Flight 7, and Booster 17 is the Flight 10 Booster. Assuming SpaceX plans to carry out 20 to 25 launches in 2025, this booster will need to be fully stacked, cryo tested, integrated with its 33 raptor engines, static fire tested, and receive final launch outfitting 8 to 10 weeks from today. To date, the record holder for fastest assembly to launch time is B13 which took 41 weeks from initial stacking to launch. This means the assembly and test campaign for B17 needs to be at least 4 times faster than the previous best (assuming there are no re-flights's of boosters within the next 4 launches). If every booster from here on has one re-flight before B17's inaugural launch, then the assembly to launch process only needs to be around 2 times faster than the current best. I should note that B14 is expected to be the new record holder. If it launches on Jan 10 it will have been just under 40 weeks. Another important detail is that from what we can tell, this a Version 1 Booster. This means that we should expect a minimum of 4 more launches before Pad B is operational. One thing is for sure 2025 is going to be WILD!!! Shoutout to The Ringwatchers discord server for helping me gather the required data on such short notice. Make sure to follow them if you haven't already.

Our Relativity Space team proved more in this first launch than most companies (and even countries) ever have in their maiden attempt: ✅ first methane fueled rocket in the West to reach space, well over the 100km Karman Line (only other is China) ✅ first nearly entirely 3D printed rocket to fly and prove 3D printing is viable by passing Max-Q, the max stress on the rocket ✅ first methane orbital-class rocket to successfully complete stage 1 flight, main engine cutoff, and second stage separation in the West (only other is China) ✅ first-ever second stage ignition attempt during the vacuum of flight for a methane fueled orbital rocket in the West, collected first-ever flight data ✅ continuing data reviews, and will bring learnings to our future rocket including Terran R ✅ one really ecstatic launch viewing experience - here, as close as one can get to the launch pad. INTENSE 12 of 10, the reaction makes perfect sense when being there, surreal 🤯

Artemis was a great test of going around the moon. However the Artemis rocket system has the same problem as the Apollo missions to the moon. It costs too much. The Artemis rocket, SLS, was designed by the US Senate. $4 billion per launch. And can only launch once each 2 years. We can’t build a moon base with this system. SLS was a rocket designed by politicians to create jobs for the old Space Shuttle contractors. They spent 15 years and $25 billion developing it, and it will never be cost effective at $4 billion per launch. It is an obsolete rocket already. It works, but it will eventually die due to budget cuts.
