@SpaceflightNow @ABernNYC You guys had great coverage. You caught her spinning after the SRB anomaly.

[Mike @RadarDude]

@cbs_spacenews Looked like Vulcan suffered another SRB anomaly. The core booster even burned longer before BECO.

@cbs_spacenews It’s now a Cat 4

Teams are taking a closer look at a ground-side helium leak on the Quick Disconnect umbilical. Falcon and Dragon remain healthy and the crew continues to be ready for their multi-day mission to low-Earth orbit.

Next launch opportunity is no earlier than Wednesday, August 28 → https://t.co/yPVYCYrtPF

During tonight’s Falcon 9 launch of Starlink, the second stage engine did not complete its second burn. As a result, the Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit.

SpaceX has made contact with 5 of the satellites so far and is attempting to have them raise orbit using their ion thrusters.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

Watch Falcon 9 launch 20 @Starlink satellites to orbit from California, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities https://t.co/aXuY7ZXXrO

Liftoff of Falcon 9 and @Turksat 6A!

@mattlanza I know you’re super busy with Beryl coverage, but I just wanted to say congratulations on getting the CDM from the AMS!

Today's spacewalk has been cancelled due to a water leak in the service and cooling umbilical unit on NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson's spacesuit. Stay tuned to the broadcast and follow the @Space_Station blog for mission updates: https://t.co/FRrjhINIvY

NASA has terminated today’s spacewalk due to a water leak while the astronauts were in the airlock.

[William Harwood @cbs_spacenews]

US EVA-90: With the Quest airlock down to vacuum and the outer hatch open, Dyson and Barratt switched their spacesuits to battery power ~845am EDT (1245 UTC) but a moment later, Dyson reported "water everywhere," apparently coming from an airlock fitting; the astronauts have reconnected their suits to station power; not yet clear what the problem is but today's spacewalk has been called off

[NASA @NASA]

Due to a spacesuit discomfort issue, today's spacewalk with @NASA_Astronauts Tracy C. Dyson and Matt Dominick at the @Space_Station will not be proceeding as scheduled. Visit our blog for updates as they become available: https://t.co/FRrjhINIvY

@MyRadarWX @KyleWeatherman @dgm_racing_ I do!!! 🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻

[Mike @RadarDude]

@mattlanza Awesome piece on this. I was looking into this too to make a fb post about it. Your article confirms a lot of what I found. While looking into this I saw that in April 2020 a Derecho made its way through the area but like 86, didn’t do much in Houston.

[Mike @RadarDude]

@MatthewCappucci Question, is there someplace where the SPC officially posts that a storm has been declared a derecho? Or is it only whispered to meteorologists who then spread the word?

[Mike @RadarDude]

Spectacular views of #Aurora last night in Chicago. Seen from the parking garage at @UChicago . This is my first time seeing them and I didn’t have to travel very far. @NWSChicago @ABC7Chicago @WGNNews

@CameronJNixon When will your paper publish? Can’t wait to read it!

[Mike @RadarDude]

@sigtor2019 I had a question. I recently found the guide books you published for TVC 1&2 at our college library. Did you ever make one for TVC 3?

[Mike @RadarDude]

@DOWFacility @CODMeteorology @ATMS_Illinois Thanks for coming out. It was awesome to see DOW7!
