The SpaceX Starfall Demonstration capsule was successfully recovered off the coast of California following its launch Florida. The recovery vessel Shannon brought the capsule into the Port of Long Beach, where it was unloaded and trucked away to for post-flight inspections.

Starbase Traffic 🚦

Ship 40 is on its way back to the Starbase production site today after completing a series of engine tests at Massey's.

Chugging right along!

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has arrived at KSC!

Weather permitting, it will be rolled out from the Pegasus barge later today, ahead of final preparations for launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket NET August 30th.

This mission will go to the L2 Lagrange point to map dark matter and uncover mysteries about the expansion of the universe.

Roman emerges!

The observatory will spend the next couple of months preparing for launch, which is currently set for no earlier than August 30th.

Strength in numbers! NROL-179 punched through a low marine layer to put on a stunning RTLS show and deliver a batch of proliferated architecture satellites to orbit for the @NRO_gov. Thrilled with how this boostback shot came out!

It is…so strange to see Starship/Starbase hardware here at the Kennedy Space Center.

A booster transport stand and 2 ship transport stands are currently idle by the turn basin, having been unloaded from SpaceX’s transport barge “You’ll Thank Me Later” earlier today.

Flight vehicles are gonna be here before we know it!

This is what raw, unbridled power looks like.
For the penultimate time, Atlas V 551 "Bruiser" took to the skies from SLC-41 earlier this evening carrying another batch of @Amazonleo satellites to Low Earth Orbit.

First look at LC-36 from the air this morning after the explosion of New Glenn last night during a failed hotfire test.
Visible is the wreckage from the destroyed TE as well as the fallen lightning tower. More to come soon.

A long exposure as LC-36 continues to burn. It appears that the south lighting tower as well as the transporter erector have collapsed. It is currently unknown the state of the surrounding pad infrastructure, but it's not looking good.

Front row seats for the world's largest + most powerful rocket launch—Starship V3 🚀 Captured in 8K60 on #GoProMISSION1 Pro by @LaunchHeavenX

Fun Fact: This 408-foot-tall (124m) rocket delivers over 18 million pounds of thrust. That's equivalent to the thrust of 31 Boeing 747s jumbo jets at full power, combined 🤯
