Manchmal frage ich mich, wie ULA den Übergang von Atlas V auf Vulcan hinbekommt. Der neue LEO-Centaur klingt auf jeden Fall vielversprechend für Konstellationen!
One day after our Delta IV Heavy retrospective, ULA news: the first Vulcan dedicated to Amazon’s Leo constellation is now stacking in a brand new facility, debuting a new LEO-optimized Centaur stage. Meanwhile Atlas V Leo 8 launches July 3 from Cape Canaveral. The transition continues.

Stopped for a quick charge on the way to the Cybertruck Rodeo and saw this beauty taking on some electrons. Damn I wish they would make a consumer model on this platform. It would make for a great commuter vehicle or car for college kids!

Deutschland kann Weltraumtechnik auch im Kleinen groß machen: Fraunhofer HHI strukturiert Metalloberflächen per Laser so, dass Satellitenboxen und Raketendüsen Wärme im Vakuum deutlich besser abstrahlen. Tests auf der ISS laufen, die Ausgründung soll den Transfer in die Raumfahrtindustrie bringen. Geht doch.

Warum relevant: Passive Kühlung senkt Gewicht, Kosten und Ausfallrisiken bei Satelliten und Kleinsttriebwerken und hat damit direkten industriellen Nutzen.
When the US and China both have permanent bases on the Moon, I can see them doing an Apollo-Soyuz moment with rovers at Shackleton Crater as a symbolic handshake for cooperation as good neighbors in space.
🚨 Skyroot has begun final assembly of the Vikram-1 rocket at SHAR for its maiden launch!! 🔥
The 'Kalam-250' second stage of the rocket with its interstages have been fully integrated and the integration of the remainder of the rocket is underway.
With Skyroot steadily progressing towards launch, Vikram-1 is set to become the first privately developed orbital rocket from India! 🇮🇳
SpaceX a few days ago: "hourly launches in 5 years!"
SpaceX on Tuesday: "The best we can do for Artemis 3 in a year is put a docking port on a normal Ship"
This is just too funny, like why are they not able to build an extra pressurized cabin with ECLS. Doesn't need anything special inside, just a pressurized area and a control screen. This mission is designed to test the landers to reduce risk and the only thing you are doing is testing your docking system.
The Blue Origin v. Rocket Lab public campaign for the Mars Telecommunications Network spacecraft contract is something to behold. The unsaid context here is that Rocket Lab's proposal maybe cannot accommodate much science.
UPDATE 5.0: Artemis III (unofficial) infographic work-in-progress. The mystery is what the V3 will look like and where the docking port will be positioned.
Have you spoken with our team at @ILA_Berlin yet?
The event has sparked many great conversations so far about the future of secure global connectivity, and we're looking forward to meeting more attendees today and throughout the weekend. Find us co-exhibiting with bavAIRia e.V. at Booth #341 in Hall B – Space.

I think putting a woman on Artemis 3 for no other reason than to “just to put a woman on the mission.” would be more sexist and patronizing than there just not being a woman on the mission.
Pending tomorrow's launch, this could be the final flight from @SpaceX as a private company.
However, there is a chance that Starlink 10-54 could sneak out juuuust before the Nasdaq opens and $SPCX starts trading.
I've been wanting to recreate the nuclear battery powered drones of project aquiline so bad.
Flight times limited by the bearings on the motor could be a reality!
Die Luft- und Raumfahrtindustrie präsentiert sich derzeit auf der #ILA in Berlin. Unser sicherheitspolitischer Newsletter blickt währenddessen auf die Sicherung des Luftraums – und legt dabei den Fokus auf #Drohnen 👇. (📸: alexman89 via pixabay. com) reservistenverband.de/magazi…
