Right, here is THAT video, I've cut it down to just the footage and the 3 video replay, it is certainly interesting, F-47 precursor ? something else ? time will tell...

Loss of a strategic European ground-station is what I call it.

We're excited to share that Goonhilly will be acquired by @Int_Machines, subject to regulatory approval.
Continuing to operate out of Cornwall, this acquisition will expand Intuitive Machine’s integrated space-to-Earth network.

Interesting, so they are now using the 747, and switched from Talon-A2 to Talon-A3

Stratolaunch continues flight operations with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency using Spirit of Mojave and the Talon-A3 hypersonic vehicle, advancing reusable hypersonic flight testing capabilities.

Just a wild guess, curious to find out if LDPE-3A (55264) is going to have a look at SJ-17 (41838) next
(still refining my satinfo tool, testing plotting closest approach calculation)

Probably useless for most but I slapped this together for myself, so if you want an easy way to follow the 24h Nürburgring...
Maybe this helps x37b.nl/24hrNBR/
(and yes the onboard is of a "certain" car 😇)

Good old 64467 - Kosmos 2589 having "fun"
(and yes, me having fun with my new satinfo toy)

Soooo Mr @torybruno was that "oopsie" or should I say, proper testing, you describe in your new podcast extra, a Trident skytop test ? or am I not allowed to guess any more ? 😇

🛰️Russian satellites multi-object proximity event in LEO
Radar tracking data via @LeoLabs_Space, processed through COMSPOC SSA Suite.
This week we observed a complex proximity event involving Russian satellites: COSMOS 2581, 2582, 2583, and Object F (a subsatellite released by 2583).
The highlight: COSMOS 2581 and 2583 achieved a closest approach of ~3 meters on 28 April at UTC, with near-zero relative velocity. This wasn't a coincidental pass — COSMOS 2583 performed several fine maneuvers to maintain this tight configuration.
Meanwhile, COSMOS 2582 trailed the formation at sub-100 km range, while Object F passed within 15 km of 2582 and within 10 km of 2581 — neither maneuvered.
For context: in late 2025 to now, we tracked these same COSMOS satellites performing 3-object RPO. These satellites launched 5 February 2025. Whatever Russia is testing, it's sophisticated.

One hour to liftoff. 🚀
In less than one hour, Ariane 6 will lift off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana for mission VA268.
On board, 32 Amazon Leo satellites are ready to be deployed into low Earth orbit by Ariane 64, the most powerful configuration of Ariane 6.
The live broadcast is about to begin, taking you behind the scenes of the final countdown and through every key moment of the mission ⏳
🎥 Watch the launch live here: arianespace.com/road-to-spac…
All eyes are now on the launch pad. 👀

As soon as Artemis II splashed down, we began diving into the data to prepare for Artemis III. 📈

Uhhh, I thought Phantom Express (XS-1 or XSP) was pretty much dead ? or at least Boeing left the DARPA program in 2020 ?
or did the AI image generator prompt include "space plane" and this is what it added ?
(instead of ....I dunno, an X-37B ? which actually flies...)

Phantom Express (pretty much dead) on the left, X-37B on the right, guess which would make a better logo...

KSC weather....
Standing down from today’s Falcon Heavy launch of the @viasat-3 F3 mission due to unfavorable weather. Vehicle and payload remain healthy. A new target date will be shared once confirmed
