[Isar Aerospace @isaraerospace]

We’re in orbit! And just made European history: This is the first time a privately developed rocket reached orbit from continental Europe; and a testament to the dedication, expertise, and teamwork of everyone involved.

And there it is

New Orbital Rocket! Isar Aerospace's Spectrum makes orbit on its second attempt!

[AstronautiCAST @AstronautiCAST]

Lo Spectrum della missione Onward and Upward ce l'ha fatta! L'Europa ha un altro vettore orbitale. Congratulations @isaraerospace!

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

Europe. FINALLY. Has SOVREIGN LAUNCH CAPABILITY! LET'S GO!!!!!

BepiColombo inizia le manovre di arrivo intorno a Mercurio.

[AstronautiCAST @AstronautiCAST]

BepiColombo si è separata in due. Il Mercury Transfer Module ha rilasciato il blocco dei due Orbiter MPO (Mercury Planetary Orbiter) e MMO (Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter). Il modulo di trasferimento non serve piu. Una milestone importante per la missione verso Mercurio.

[ESA Science @esascience]

@BepiColombo With this separation, ESA's Bepi and JAXA's Mio have completed the first step of their Mercury arrival phase.

Go, Bepi! 🙌
Go, Mio! 🙌

SpaceX engineers spent several days inspecting Ship 40 in the waters off Christmas Island. They collected heatshield samples and gained vital insight into how the vehicle handled reentry with improvements now planned on future vehicles

Two ways of booster recovery, one month apart.
Long March 10B v. Zhuque-3

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

The world has another partially-reusable launch vehicle: Zhuque-3 has STUCK THE LANDING!

Here's the full rundown on today's beautiful flight → https://t.co/C3fdVCmzeZ

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

After approx. 24 days at sea, the SpaceX Recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location just off the coast of Christmas Island. A team of SpaceX engineers is on their way to conduct additional analysis on the vehicle in calmer waters before attempting to return it to Starbase

[Marcus House @MarcusHouse]

Holy $#*! Well my friends, I've managed to get in touch with brilliant international wildlife photographer Chris Bray on Christmas Island and he just grabbed some shots of Ship 40 for us! Take a look at this!🤯

Lot's more to come so follow him from the link. 👇

The 2026 Total Solar Eclipse was viewed by all creatures great and small - including this bird which photobombed my shot of the Corona just after the start of totality.

@AstronautiCAST @AstroIronMike E noi lo ringraziamo!

[AstronautiCAST @AstronautiCAST]

E Scott gli fa le sue congratulazioni.
