🎉Congratulations in advance to SpaceX SpaceX and ISRO ISRO on the anticipated success of the Falcon 9 launch for the NSIL GSAT-N2 mission, scheduled for Monday, November 18, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida! 🚀The launch window is scheduled to open at 1:31 p.m. ET and lasts for two hours. 🚨While the launch forebodes auspiciousness, I recommend a slight adjustment to the launch time, moving it to 1:39 p.m. ET. 🌟This change will help mitigate potential issues with the rocket’s propulsion and guidance systems, thereby increasing the likelihood of both a nominal flight and the precise insertion of the GSAT-N2 satellite into orbit. This recommended adjustment falls well within the current launch window and is recommended to better protect our investment. Narendra Modi Dr. S. Jaishankar Amit Shah Rajnath Singh

NASA Wallops Island update — June 18, 2026. Pegasus media event recap. Yesterday we attended NASA's media event for the Pegasus XL launch carrying Katalyst Space's LINK servicing spacecraft, which will attempt to rendezvous with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and boost it back to a stable orbit using LINK's three robotic arms. We recorded about 33 minutes of the briefing on GoPro, covering the first 15 minutes of speaker intros and mission overview plus part of the Q&A. Rookie mistake: I left it recording in 5K60, and it overheated, cutting things short. Lesson learned. NASA's event was not video livestreamed, but they ran a live audio stream, available here: After the briefing, media were bused out to see Pegasus mounted under Stargazer, Northrop Grumman's L-1011 carrier aircraft. As we got off the bus, the Air Force Thunderbirds happened to be taking off from an adjacent runway. Great bonus moment. Swift's orbit has been decaying faster than expected due to increased solar activity. If LINK succeeds, it will be the first time a commercial robotic mission has captured an uncrewed NASA spacecraft never designed to be serviced in space. Great day at Wallops.

Why are many in the space community calling SpaceX Starship Flight 11 the Flight of many “Lasts”? That’s because it is true and represents a major transition from the more Wild Wild West of prototype development to a more operational, maturing space launch and spacecraft system. After Flight 11, much of the original orbital launch site systems, from the launch mount, to the water deluge & supporting systems are about to be replaced by a brand-new & much more reliable, survivable & rapidly reusable system. These changes will even make the iconic imagery we are familiar with just historical memories. In this video clip, I discuss some of what is driving this, and what we can expect to see not just here at Starbase, but at many other SpaceX launch sites. Ellie in Space 🚀💫

Shyam explains how America's defense industry went from founder-led to a consolidated and conformist system: "In 1993, there was a very famous dinner at the Pentagon called The Last Supper. The Secretary of Defense told a subset -- 15 of the 51 primes -- the budget's getting cut, we give you permission to consolidate. This just set off a merger frenzy that led from the consolidation from 51 down to 5. The consequence is this is the moment of profound financialization and conformity in the industrial base. You lost the crazy people. They went to tech. What we would recognize in the Valley today, that's where this talent was. It was in the industrial companies of America. We think about it as Northrop Grumman. Much more accurately, it was Jack Northrop. It was Leroy Grumman. You had founder figures. The defense industry used to not just be about dividends, buyback ratios and financial engineering. It was about real engineering. We need a little more crazy back."

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.

I'm excited to announce we have achieved our Tier 1 mission success criteria and have begun gathering a tremendous amount of data on how this brand new spacecraft performs. On March 30th, 13:17:08Z, the Gravitas spacecraft separated from the SpaceX Transporter-16 stack to begin its mission as one of the highest power free-flying satellites ever launched. Immediately after separation, the spacecraft autonomously: - Executed detumbling maneuvers - Established two-way communications with the ground (on our very first ground station pass) - Deployed its 20kW solar arrays - Slewed to a safe and stable attitude to await further ground commands These actions alone are a testament to the incredible work of our in-house engineering, software, and GNC teams to build a robust spacecraft. Since then, our operations team completed all initial system activations and checkouts, confirming the vehicle is in a power positive and thermally stable state with no major anomalies observed at this time. We completed this phase of the mission ahead of schedule. Next up we will be powering up and downlinking data for all payloads aboard the Gravitas spacecraft in support of our customers and partners while continuing to put the spacecraft through its paces. As we noted ahead of launch: The goal of this mission is to experiment and push our systems to the limit to inform future missions. I look forward to sharing more on our successes and challenges as the mission proceeds. Video of our satellite below; link to full T-16 webcast:

What if you're more connected than you ever imagined? Quantum entanglement suggests that separate things are deeply connected – even beyond space and time. Our research has explored this idea in fascinating ways … and this concept applies to you, too. What if you could become entangled with a future version of yourself? A version that is healed, abundant, and has the qualities you want to develop? You can begin embodying that version now. Join us for Entangled – a brand-new live lesson and meditation with Dr Joe – on Tuesday, July 14 at 5 p.m. EDT/2 p.m. PDT to learn how. ✨ Register at

$ARTEMIS is a meme token on Solana tokenizing the historic milestones of NASA's Artemis Program. 8PpVGHnn3fNwoydMmYinRYAX1LrKQCExjVMBMzPQpump 🇺🇸 Basics: The Artemis space program was established in 2017 by the Trump administration with the goal of sending humans back to the Moon, creating a continuous presence (Moon base), and preparing for future Mars missions. It successfully achieved its first uncrewed space flight in 2022 (Artemis I). 🚀 Present: NASA aims to launch the first crewed deep-space mission around the Moon in April 2026 after more than 50 years. There is a high chance Donald Trump will attend the Artemis II launch and we expect Elon Musk to tweet "Godspeed Artemis" as he did in 2022. This 10-day mission from liftoff to splashdown will feature a 4K live stream from space with full media coverage. Humanity is on a Moon Mission. 🌕 Future: Artemis will return humans to the lunar surface in 2028. NASA has contracted Elon Musk’s SpaceX to develop the Human Landing System, using Starship for the Artemis III mission. A permanent Moon base and continuous Moon missions are planned through 2030. With $ARTEMIS, you have a ticket to the Moon Mission on Solana. Celebrate these events with the $ARTEMIS community and enjoy the media hype around the biggest events in the future of humanity.

When the "Russian Starlink" will be operational - There's a ping! 8 megabits, 9, 10! It's working, it's working! Damn it, I'm not crying, it's just the internet getting to me! - Two young developers from the company "Bureau 1440" couldn't hold back their emotions at the displays. The data transfer speed from the first three satellites has risen to 12 Mbit/s, with a delay of 41 milliseconds... This was three years ago. This eloquently shows how people interested in and concerned about this segment of the space industry have been waiting for the emergence of such a project. In the vernacular, it's immediately dubbed the "Russian Starlink". Officially - "Dawn". Broadband high-speed internet (up to 1 Gbit/sec!), which is distributed directly from the sky. The beginning was laid, although to Starlink we are still as far away as to that very sky. Until yesterday evening, six experimental satellites of the system were "hanging" in low orbit. They were used to test the concept of laser inter-satellite communication. On Monday evening, a launch vehicle deployed 16 devices at once. And this is the first batch launch of the project. But talking about creating a full-fledged satellite communication system, similar to Elon Musk's brainchild, is, of course, too premature. Twenty-two satellites will be enough for real tests and pilot operation with individual clients. The launch of the commercial service was scheduled for 2027. By that time, 292 satellites should be in orbit, which will provide global coverage of Russia with full-fledged broadband internet. Compared to Starlink's seven-thousand-satellite constellation, this seems insignificant. But "Dawn" is not yet positioning itself as a competitor to Musk. Our priority is to first provide ourselves with high-quality satellite internet. We'll conquer the world later. There, the plans are to cover more than 75 countries by 2035. But before that, it's important to ensure uninterrupted data transmission to at least our group in the Southern Military District (SMD). By the end of this year, it was planned to launch more than a hundred and fifty satellites into orbit. This is enough for partial coverage of Russia's territory. And it would have been enough for active tests in the SMD zone. However, the program's deadlines have already been shifted by a year. And everything will depend on the number of launches and spacecraft deployed into orbit. And, of course, on the production of ground terminals. The prospect of experimental connections on the front is already visible this year. But a full-scale deployment is unlikely before 2027.

🚨SPACEX'S NEXT STARSHIP TEST IS BASICALLY A SPACE SWISS ARMY KNIFE Elon's latest cosmic experiment is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at space tomorrow. The souped-up Starship comes with a grocery list of upgrades: slimmer wings, beefier fuel tanks, and enough cameras to make a reality TV show jealous. The real flex? They're reusing a rocket engine that's already been to space. Like recycling, but for $1M pieces of hardware. Between playing space frisbee with fake satellites, testing hot metal plates that could melt your face off, and attempting to catch a 230-foot rocket with giant chopsticks, SpaceX is pushing boundaries faster than we can push out the tweets. Launch window opens 4 p.m. CT Thursday, weather permitting. Source: SpaceX Elon Musk Media: Ellie in Space 🚀💫 Oliver The Space Nerd

They're reusing a rocket engine that's already been to space. Like recycling, but for $1M pieces of hardware. Between playing space frisbee with fake satellites, testing hot metal plates that could melt your face off, and attempting to catch a 230-foot rocket with giant chopsticks, SpaceX is pushing boundaries faster than we can push out the tweets. Launch window opens 4 p.m. CT Thursday, weather permitting. Source: SpaceX Elon Musk Media: Ellie in Space 🚀💫 Oliver The Space Nerd

BREAKING: Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin says that if the talks in Geneva with Iran fail today, America will be at war within a week: "Let's be very clear that if talks in Geneva fail today, the U.S. will likely be at war in the Middle East by next week." 🚨Expect this to become the headline if the talking heads interpret today's talks to be a "failure."🚨 "Most U.S. warships have pulled out to sea from the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, and Fox News has learned that from an operational status, The U.S. base in Bahrain is in a state of mission-critical status, down to a few dozen Americans operating out of the U.S. Navy's Middle East headquarters." "The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier strike group has now left Souda Bay in Crete after a resupply stopover and is now heading east. At a typical speed, the carrier would be near the coast of Israel by Friday." "The latest squadron of F-22 stealth fighter jets left Lakenheath Air Base in the UK on Tuesday and for the first time ever are being based in Israel. Open-source satellite images show them lined up on the tarmac there." "The buildup in the Middle East continues as negotiators are scheduled to resume talks at 5:30 PM Geneva time, with several U.S. Air Force heavy-lift aircraft in transit, including one C-5 Super Galaxy, the Air Force's largest strategic airlifter, designed by Lockheed Martin to carry immense cargo loads over intercontinental ranges."

Elon Musk breaks down how current birth rates will leave Korea at just 4% of its size in three generations. With the country "only at one-third replacement rate," the population is set to drop to a staggering 1/27th of what it is today. "Basically population collapse happens fast," he observes, adding that this trend "seems to be accelerating in most parts of the world." Because this global decline is happening so quickly, he views our current technological capability as a strict race against the clock. "Maybe that window will be open for a long time, but it might only be open for a short time." For him, the solution to this acceleration is the ultimate mission. "We should make sure that we make life multi-planetary and make consciousness multi-planetary while it's possible. That's the goal of SpaceX."

Sometimes we can all use a little help from a friend. NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory needs a boost to stay in orbit after almost 22 years of service. This video shows an artist's visualization of the Swift Boost Mission: The Katalyst's LINK spacecraft was launched aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket on July 3 and it is now en route to rendezvous with Swift and boost it to a higher orbit over the course of the next several months. This type of maneuver has never been attempted before. If successful, it will be the technology demonstration of a new key capability to extended the lifetime of spacecraft in low Earth orbit, whose orbits decay over time. Swift has an array of instruments that observe the most energetic explosions in the Universe in gamma-rays, X-rays and ultraviolet, and the unique ability to repoint in their direction within tens of seconds. Astronomers around the world, and indeed all fans of cosmic explosions, are anxiously hoping for a successful mission! Image Credit: Katalyst Space Text: Cecilia Chirenti (NASA GSFC, UMCP, CRESST II)
