Congrats to @SpaceX on the IPO! For years, the bottleneck to deep space was the cost of getting off Earth. That’s becoming a solved problem. Now the challenge is building low-cost spacecraft that can operate there...good thing we’ve been busy. More news drops next week.

Space-Track reports that the upper stage of the Zhuque-2E disintegrated at 0847 UTC Jun 9, a time that likely corresponds to the disposal burn following payload deployment. The stage and debris have not yet been cataloged

LAUNCH: SpaceX Falcon 9 B1080-27 launches Starlink 10-54 from SLC-40. Live on X and YT: youtube.com/watch?v=wkwYXsmK…

"Tom Mueller is driving his candy green Porsche Taycan Turbo S the way he builds rocket engines: with a terrifying amount of instantaneous thrust..." Before titles like "the godfather of rocketry" were tossed in Tom's (@lrocket) direction, there was an engineer with a penchant for the impossible. @elonmusk came asking, "Can you build something bigger?" Tom spent the next two decades answering it, redefining what was considered possible, and helping lay the foundation for a generation of spaceflight that the world is still catching up to. It's impossible to tell the story of modern spaceflight without Tom's story. And it's impossible to tell the story of its future without Impulse. Forbes brings it all together ⬇️ forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2…

Getting ready to fly. Pegasus and our L-1011 are cleared for the next phase as we prepare for the @NASA Swift Observatory rescue mission. A unique launch system. A unique mission. One step closer to flight.

LAUNCH! JAXA Live: youtube.com/watch?v=HSiaGTea…

37A tower stack is underway. The growth of the Cape skyline continues… exciting times!

LC-16 is continuing its transition from construction to activation, with major infrastructure and ground systems work advancing across the site. ✓ Water tower reached its final height of 305 feet ✓ Lightning protection system erection continues across the site ✓ 220,000-pound bridge crane installed in the HIF cleanroom ✓ HIF outfitting underway with ductwork, offices, and facility systems progressing ✓ Launch table and transporter-erector infrastructure continue advancing

The LR13000 crane is officially active lifting the first of nine modules for the first Starship tower at Launch Complex 37. Does this pad have an official name yet @TurkeyBeaver 📷 @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/spacecoast

And touchdown. No, not sponsored by bandicam. Not sure why it unregistered itself. Will fix for next time. 😅

LAUNCH! SpaceX Falcon 9 B1071 on its thirty-fourth flight launches Starlink Group 17-44 from SLC-4E, at the always sunny Vandenberg.

Moments ago, over at KSC, the Starship booster & ship stands, which were unloaded from Marmac 31, rolled out toward historic LC-39A. They're a bit short to see exactly where they've ended up, but here's a small clip of the excitement! @NASASpaceflight | nsf.live/spacecoast

Also shoutout to Kayden, our new Integration and Test intern!

Take a manufacturing minute with us as we talk through our automated fiber placement machine that builds the core composite structures for our rockets and spacecraft.

Thanks to some creative unfolding with design and test heritage from our FLEX rover, our stowed CLV-1 measures approximately 2 x 2.3 x 2.2 meters on its journey to the Moon and unfolds after deploying onto the lunar surface. Limbs are deployed into the driving configuration using actuators linked to the suspension assemblies. These also allow the chassis to be raised and lowered to the ground to make it easier for Artemis crews to get in and out. Fully unfolded, the rover sits approximately 4 x 2.3 x 2.6 meters.
