First orbital flight of Starship successful!

Views from of one of the first 26 Starlink V3 satellites successfully deployed to orbit by Starship

Thanks for the ride, @SpaceX!

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Think Rocket Lab only operates in low Earth orbit? Think again.

When a spacecraft orbits the Moon, touches down on the lunar surface, or charts a course across deep space to Mars, there's a strong chance Rocket Lab technology helped it get there and deliver mission success.

Through our launch, spacecraft, solar power, separation systems, software, operations, and robotics solutions, we’re proud to support historic planetary exploration missions across the solar system. 🧵👇

Saturday was a good day for Boca Chica Beach.

985 volunteers came out for International Coastal Cleanup Day and removed 2,880 lbs of trash from our shoreline.

Thank you to @SpaceX, @TXAdoptABeach, and Cameron County, and to every friend, family member, and neighbor who came out to volunteer.

This is what community looks like. See you at the next one!

I haven't seen Rocket Lab's new trailer shared on here yet, so here it is from the recent livestream 👀

Thanks to @NASAAdmin Jared Isaacman and his team for visiting our Moses Lake Test Site recently! Great to show off hot fires of both our Andromeda and Zenith engines as they complete their qualification campaigns.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

A fully and rapidly reusable rocket will fundamentally change how humanity accesses outer space. “The Holy Grail of Rocketry” continues the ongoing Starship series with a look back at the scrappy days of SpaceX engineers proving reuse was possible and takes you onboard a high-seas race to recover a floating Starship

@Truthful_ast ?

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship has now been loaded onto a semi-submersible ship to begin the several month journey back to Starbase. Congratulations to the entire SpaceX Recovery team for battling through challenging conditions to give our engineers access to a wealth of data to continue rapidly developing Starship

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Introducing Starbase, Louisiana – 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 → https://t.co/zGKVOGSxfW

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

We made rockets reusable and are rebuilding the internet in space. The next challenge: making life multiplanetary and understanding the true nature of the universe

Watch @ElonMusk deliver a company update to @SpaceX employees

View of Starship in space from a Starlink V3 satellite on Flight 13.

This composite is made of imagery from four separate cameras on a single satellite. Six of the satellites were equipped with cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions

[Stoke Space @stoke_space]

The first three of our flight one engines are designed, built, and ready for testing. ✅

Stage 1 Zenith engines ZE14, 15, and 16 are ready to ship from our shop floor in Kent, WA to Moses Lake for hot fire acceptance testing.

Getting our Zenith engines through qualification testing is no small feat, and trusted vendors like Performance Sealing Inc. - who can iterate at industry-leading speeds - are key to keeping our work on time and on track.🙏🙌

[Maxarick @Maxarick]

We can just do things

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Latest heat shield design looks great!

Time-lapse of today’s Starship flight, from liftoff to splashdown, in just 150 seconds. 🚀

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@DJSnM Unless we discover problems after mission data review, SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower on next flight

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Archimedes second stage engine full duration burn - complete ✅ (and what a thing of beauty).

The AVac (Archimedes Vacuum) engine produces 1.2x lbf of its Stage 1 variant and stands ~2.5m taller thanks to its extended nozzle optimized for the vacuum conditions of space.

Recent AVac testing included a stub skirt for the nozzle. Since full length vacuum nozzles at ground level risk flow separation and instability, stub skirts are used to anchor our engineers' analysis for how the engine will perform with the full nozzle in vacuum conditions - all critical preparation for Neutron's first flight.

[Rocket Lab @RocketLab]

Rocket Lab is acquiring Iridium Communications Inc – one of the most transformative deals in the space industry.

By combining our launch capability and satellite manufacturing with @IridiumComm’s global satellite communications network and rare spectrum, Rocket Lab becomes a fully integrated, self-launching, tier-1 space power, delivering critical communications capability to millions of users worldwide.
