SN10 in freefall.
Seeing S42 and S43 being lifted for catch-related testing is bringing back memories of witnessing Starships hurtling towards earth during the high-altitude testing phase.

During the Artemis Acceleration update, both SpaceX and Blue Origin revealed plans for how they would support the Artemis IV mission. Up first is SpaceX.
SpaceX’s plan involves docking with Orion in HEO before boosting it into a TLI and then leaving Orion in LLO while HLS lands on the surface.
This plan involves two refueling points: one in LEO and the other in a slightly higher FTO. The number of tanker flights needed isn’t specified exactly, and NASA and Elon seem to provide different numbers, so I just averaged them.

280 was max thrust on the test stand. 250 was the requirement as early as early 2024. The engine is pushing the limits of what's possible and it's 20t lower than expected and Starship still lifts over 100t.

Space skate! A tribute to the raddest skaters I know down on planet Earth. This one is for my brother (and all skating members of the posse), my husband and our little ripper daughter, and all the inspired shredders. Hey @tonyhawk, what trick would you try up here?

👀 Tianwen-4's probe for Uranus flyby, a secondary payload on the Jupiter mission, may be dropped due to development and supply hurdles with its RTG unit.

Behold: The US Defense Intelligence Agency has released a report on challenges to security in space, including an NEI image of China’s spaceplane from Maxar, taken in 2024.

Space freighters.
Scenes from this morning at the Kennedy Space Center turn basin, where NASA’s Pegasus and SpaceX’s Marmac 31 "You’ll Thank Me Later" barges are docked.
This is the first occasion they've been seen together in such close proximity, offering a rare opportunity to witness two vessels purpose-built to transport large spaceflight hardware.

Progress on the Orion spacecraft video project is coming along nicely! Some of it we’ve had to do our best guess based on what information is available, like the docking module at the top.
Let me know what you think so far! Hopefully the full video will be done soon. (1/3)

As we prepare to return humans to the Moon and establish a long-term presence there, our commercial human landing system providers, Blue Origin and SpaceX, have streamlined their designs for future crewed landers.
Check out the new concepts >> go.nasa.gov/4BnaD65

A COPV appears to have RUDed at @SpaceX's McGregor facility at approximately 11:26:22 PM CT. @NASASpaceflight's live cameras watched as the stand became fully engulfed in the minutes after. (50x speed)
