i like spaceflight and technology. also i draw and do photography sometimes

Black rocket 🤝 Golden milestone.

Electron is all dressed up for launch 100.

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

We just want to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended MAX POWER this weekend at NASA Kennedy!

Thousands came out to meet NASA astronauts, watch spectacular air shows, and see NASA technology up close as we prepare to go back to the Moon.

View some of the action here. https://t.co/UWStUWx7KX

GS2 is so gigantic holy moly

Our new booster engine, Northstar, was built from the ground up by a scrappy team focused on weight, cost, manufacturability, and performance. More than 65% of the engine is additively manufactured using our in-house 3D printing capability. Northstar can be assembled in less than a day and produces 715,000 pounds of thrust.

BREAKING: @blueorigin announces the Northstar Booster Engine…

[ESA's Hera mission @ESA_Hera]

The European Space Agency’s Hera mission for planetary defence has acquired its first close-up of the Didymos binary asteroid system! 🛰️🪨🪨

Happy Halloween!

[European Space Agency @esa]

Our Hera spacecraft can now see Didymos and Dimorphos as two separate asteroids!

Coming closer, it will study the effects of NASA's 2022 DART impact and help advance asteroid deflection as a planetary defence technique.

The first detailed images of Dimorphos are expected on 25 November.

Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

Finally got a semblance of a heat shield onto my Starship model. Still a very long way out from completion, and I'm not even close to finishing the actual tiles. But it's nice to have some contrast after almost 9 months of starting this project.

Module 6 is back on the Vehicle Access Tower. The crane configuration for lifting and placing these modules is a delicate work of art. This CC 8800 heavy lift crane uses counterweight positioned behind the crane to significantly increase lifting performance.

Stage 2 has officially left the rocket factory for the last time. 😢🫡

Now in Moses Lake, WA, it will undergo cryo proof testing and then a hotfire campaign with its Andromeda engine before shipment to our launch site in Cape Canaveral, FL.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

The first Starship to return to its launch site, Ship 40's journey took it across air, space, and sea. Now that it is vertical alongside three other Starships in a Megabay at Starbase, it will provide first-of-its-kind data on a flown Starship heatshield, Raptor engines, avionics, and more.

@HalcyonHypnotic built like Jared Isaacman

@boston25 I quite literally have the receipts

Hot-staging on Starship Flight 14

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Starship's first orbital flight delivered 26 Starlink V3 satellites to space
