Introducing Starbase, Louisiana โ a high-cadence launch site that will enable Starship to open a pathway to the stars for humanity.
Thank you to @LAGovJeffLandry and the great people of Louisiana for all of their support as we work together on this audacious project โ https://t.co/zGKVOGSxfW
MISSION SUCCESS | ZhuQue-3 Y2 Reusable Launch Vehicle Achieved Full Success in Orbital Insertion and First-Stage Recovery
On August 19, 2026, at 07:35 (UTC+8), the ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y2 reusable launch vehicle lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone. Approximately 137 seconds after lift-off, the first and second stages separated. The second stage continued its flight and successfully delivered the Honghu 03 satellite, independently developed by Hongqing Technology, into its designated orbit. At approximately 07:41, the first stage performed a successful soft touchdown at the LandSpace Landing Site#1 in Minqin County, Gansu Province, following the planned trajectory โ marking the full success of the flight test mission.
After approx. 24 days at sea, the SpaceX Recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location just off the coast of Christmas Island. A team of SpaceX engineers is on their way to conduct additional analysis on the vehicle in calmer waters before attempting to return it to Starbase
Never Bet Against Elon...
The day Apollo legends got SpaceX dead wrong.
In 2011, Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan testified before Congress, warning that private spaceflight was an unreliable dream and claiming startups like SpaceX "didn't know what they didn't know."
Fast forward to today: SpaceX didn't just prove the skeptics wrongโthey revolutionized rocketry, restored American human spaceflight, and were chosen by NASA to build the lander returning humans to the Moon.
Even the greatest pioneers can misjudge the future.
SpaceX is partnering with @Nvidia to design the Starmind AI1 satellite compute payload.
Each of the Starmind satellites will include NVIDIA Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs for datacenter class space compute โ https://t.co/4MOQv0DvTQ
.@AgnikulCosmos is getting ready for Mission 2, where they will not just place a commercial payload in orbit but also attempt to recover the rocketโs lower stage for reuse.ย
The architecture for the reusable launch vehicle is almost frozen, Srinath Ravichandran, co-founder and CEO, AgniKul Cosmos says. โAll the pieces of the tech needed for reusability are in place; we will have to now sequence them exactly.โ
The company is eyeing an early-2027 timeline for lift off
Founders @srinathr155 and @moin_spm, who patiently let us tour their facilities, say that the best part about cracking reusability will be decoupling of rocket production capacity and launch cadence
