The Difference A Week Makes

I photographed the Moon in the week leading up to the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse, with Totality captured in León, Spain.

If you still (somehow) didn't believe that SpaceX was a telecommunications company...

This old thumbnail of mine is getting truer by the day 😅

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

We announced an agreement to acquire a nationwide low-band spectrum license portfolio that will pave the way for @Starlink to become a major mobile carrier in the US.

With this new spectrum and our Gen2 constellation, Starlink Mobile can ensure Americans have access to high-speed mobile broadband no matter where they are → https://t.co/1Uaf48v5pm

When it comes to monitoring the Starship program, the Chilean Air Force (@FACh_Chile) tuned into @NASASpaceflight's live coverage for the latest on Starship Flight 14 🇨🇱

@Wolfe1867 Favourable orbital mechanics

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

Lucky Crew-13 set a brand new American record yesterday...

The fastest ever Launch → Docking transit to the International Space Station!

7 hours, 55 minutes, and 10 seconds - almost halving the previous record.

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

The discolouration on the top of the Booster dome!!!

Imagine when we start getting multiple re-flights...

Hot-staging on Starship Flight 14

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

That is the most aggressive sonic boom I've ever heard from an RTLS.

The clouds do get in the way of the cameras, but boy do they carry the sound to the microphones!

B1101-3 lands at LZ-40.

@NASAAdmin I can’t even begin to find the words… and I can’t quite believe what I just read 😮

Thank you so much.

This is gonna be an epic air show!

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

I would've loved to cover what's going to be one hell of an air show... sadly I don't meet the accreditation requirements as I'm not a US citizen & don't work for the foreign press ☹️

Hopefully I'll be able to report on the event from home 🤞

[NASA Events @NASA_Events]

Calling all digital creators and savvy storytellers!

Media credentialing is open for MAX POWER, an aerospace technology expo and air show at @NASAKennedy in Florida.

Apply by Oct. 6 to cover one of our biggest events of the year, happening Nov. 7-8: https://t.co/LyAihuheZT

Starship Update with Ryan Caton (@dpoddolphinpro)

https://t.co/D31NSloYtF

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

Following an aborted lift the other night, the first module was re-stacked at Launch Complex-36A this morning.

New Glenn return-to-flight is still targeted for this year, according to Dave Limp!

[Dave Limp @davill]

We’re going vertical! The first module is placed on the vehicle access tower. We’ve added two floors and guard rails for access, along with cryo control skids and environmental control system piping and filter boxes. Five more modules to go as we work toward returning to flight this year.

A lot of hard work behind this. Couldn’t be prouder of the team.

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

.@SpaceX's Starship Transport Barge, Marmac 31 You'll Thank Me Later, has departed Port Canaveral for the Port of Brownsville.

This could be to practice operations with Ship 40, which is due to arrive in Brownsville four days after Marmac 31.

How would you rate the success of Starship Flight 14?

Considering the engine-outs, booster soft splashdown, orbital insertion, payload deploy, and precise ship splashdown, despite “only” 3 hours of flight instead of 10.

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

Starship has reached orbit, at last!

We saw some snags with the Raptor engines on Booster & Ship, but they had the authority to push through to two successful splashdowns.

Plus, Starlink v3 is en route to serving customers!

More than 2,000 people tracking this BA City Flyer E190 on a training flight. How many circuits will they do? https://t.co/GBjP5FeV7H

BREAKING: @NASAAdmin confirms @Astro_Woody will command Starliner-2 - scheduled to be the first operational crewed flight of the vehicle.

Scheduled for 2028, this will follow the uncrewed Starliner-1 flight, currently NET December 2026.
