Tracking footage from this morning's launch of ULA's Vulcan rocket & the USSF-87 mission for United States Space Force - filmed from a perspective 3.9 miles to the west of SLC-41. SRM nozzle burn through plainly visible on the right-hand side of the vehicle, protruding in the direction of the twin BE-4 engines on the core booster. As alarming as this was, it's promising to see that the vehicle held a nominal trajectory as the flight progressed, per ULA's latest update. Standing by for additional word. 📸 - NSF - NASASpaceflight.com Live Coverage Replay -

“Of course, for the entire last 26 years, all of it has benefitted these future missions. And in continuing some of these experiments that will help us with our first landing missions on the Moon makes it even more worthwhile and rewarding for us.” -- Jessica Meir NASA astronaut Jessica Meir and her crew mates recently discussed the upcoming Crew-12 mission to the International Space Station, slated for launch on Feb. 12. While aboard, this crew will also see the launch of four astronauts around the Moon on Artemis II – a mission made possible due to countless dedicated team members and decades of research in low Earth orbit.

🚀 From Utah to the Moon. The final solid rocket booster segments for NASA's Artemis III mission have left Promontory, Utah, and are on their way to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Built by Northrop Grumman, the massive boosters will help power the Space Launch System rocket, generating 7.2 million pounds of thrust at liftoff as NASA works toward returning astronauts to the moon. The newly shipped segments will join others already delivered to Florida and will be among the first pieces assembled for the mission.

45 seconds to orbit.. This video compresses one of the most incredible journeys ever achieved by humanity. In less than an hour, a rocket goes from sitting on a launch pad to traveling around Earth at nearly 28,000 km/h. What looks smooth on screen is actually an explosive climb through the atmosphere powered by millions of pounds of thrust, carrying astronauts, satellites, or cargo into the vacuum of space. From Earth to orbit in 45 seconds. Reality is often more impressive than science fict
