Looking forward to the New Glenn launch and was thinking about their business case. The capacity is roughly Falcon Heavy or Delta IV but those donโt/didnโt fly very often. What is their target payload size and what would their launch cadence be? Old graphic from BO for reference

See our #GITAI robot hard at work on the ISS, demonstrating its advanced dexterity and precision! From grasping tools to loosening and tightening screws, our autonomous robots are designed to handle crucial tasks in space.

@ISSAboveYou@Space_Station Iโm not sure but hopefully one of the crew snapped some pics. This was a screenshot from the NASA live stream. It will probably take a few days before any pics start popping up
I couldnโt resist posting this cool pic of the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock with the SpaceX Dragon photobombing. Lots of great @Space_Station#ROBO work going with the dance of robotic arms. #ProudPapaMoment ๐
@HVM_fi@Space_Station This is the original. Itโs a screen shot from the NASA public live stream. The lighting looks a little strange but due to sun angle
@DJSnM@DJSnM Have you reviewed the footage right after Re-entry burn shutdown? It sure looks like some extracurricular activity down in the engine bay as the grid fins are illuminated. Maybe it's re-entry phenomenon but I didn't see it in footage from other night launches
@brickmack@NASASpaceflight Definitely a leg failure but was there something else going on? There sure seemed to be a decent size fireball at engine shutdown and right before the leg failed. I need to look at previous landings to see what the fire looked like at engine shutdown
@Space_Pete @Space_Station And thus we opted for simplicity and accepted the low risk of an robotic arm related problem or operator error. We have faith in the Canadian arms and the skills of ROBO and their history of successful operations
Thereโs our baby putting in some work in LEO. The Nanoracks Bishop Airlock doing some payload robotic operations on the @Space_Station right now. So proud of the team making her work so well. For all those that helped and cheered us along the way, hopefully you recognize her.
@Space_Pete @Space_Station Yes there was but it got complicated very quickly. And add that if you canโt get your cover back out of the way, the Airlock mission is over and will most likely be jettisoned. You can have redundant mechanisms and EVA overrides but again it gets complicated and expensive quickly
