@codetaur Nice! FYI, you’ll want to rotate the ISS 90 deg counterclockwise so that it’s flying at the correct attitude, Node 1 facing in the direction of the velocity vector. 😎

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting tenth flight test of Starship!

Jim Lovell was a veteran of the Gemini VII, Gemini XII, and Apollo 8 missions before becoming the Mission Commander for the Apollo 13 mission to the Moon.

Crew-11:

[Kiko Dontchev @TurkeyBeaver]

Crew-11 completed the fastest Crew Dragon rendezvous to date – travelling from pad 39A to the zenith docking port of the ISS in 14 hours, 43 minutes, and 10 seconds. Great work @SpaceX and Dragon teams!

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

@sturmf1 Not just a shorter rendezvous time, but the SHORTEST time of any Dragon mission! Crew-11 was speedy and docked in under 15 hours. 🏎️

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

Launching in Florida brings its challenges, but we will try again tomorrow. Good news is this next launch attempt has the same docking date/time, thanks orbital mechanics!

[NASA @NASA]

Today’s launch attempt has been scrubbed due to weather. Our next Crew-11 launch attempt will be at 11:43am ET (1543 UTC) Friday, Aug. 1. Our coverage will begin at 7:35am ET (1135 UTC).

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

Welcome aboard, Crew-11 — It was a pleasure helping get you guys docked to Station this morning!

[NASA @NASA]

Welcome to the @Space_Station, Crew-11!

Dragon's hatch opened at 3:46am ET (0746 UTC) as the new arrivals joined the crew aboard the orbital laboratory.

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

See you soon, Crew-11! 🚀

Tune in tomorrow at 2:00 AM Central Time to watch the docking!

[NASA @NASA]

…And off they go!

Crew-11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy at 11:43am ET (1543 UTC), headed towards the @Space_Station.

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

Happy to give you a boost 😉

[Nichole “Vapor” Ayers @Astro_Vapor]

Due to atmospheric drag, the @Space_Station decelerates over time, which causes a loss in altitude. We have to execute a reboost in order to get back to speed and altitude.

When the thrusters are firing, you can feel and see the acceleration inside the station! Ha, we had fun being human accelerometers. 😊

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

Crew-11 is GO for launch! 🌟

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

Instructor informal went well today so now all that’s left is my final next month!

Excited to earn cert #3 😎

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

56 years ago, the world witnessed one of humanity’s greatest achievements. Today we are (finally) going back to the Moon, and this time to stay. The Moon is the first step to Mars and beyond — humanity will become a multi-planet, space-fairing species! 🚀 💫

#NASA #Artemis

[NASA Artemis @NASAArtemis]

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the Moon—and with them, the world took a giant leap. That moment sparked a legacy of exploration that continues today as @NASA and its partners advance toward Artemis II and prepare for the next great frontier: Mars.

[International Space Station @Space_Station]

Learn about @NASA's @SpaceX #Crew11 mission to the orbital outpost and meet the four crew members during a pair of briefings starting at 12 p.m. EDT on Thursday live on YouTube. More... https://t.co/9OPKmBeht1

Passed my MCG instructor knowledge board today, all that is left now is to pass my final 😎

@Robotbeat I’d read it! In general I love any sci fi that explores what relations between human colonies would be like given it would likely experience a revolutionary period where colonies declare independence from earth

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

Liftoff! 🚀

The Progress 92 cargo craft lifted off at 3:32 p.m. ET from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

The busy week continues — I’ll be working console for the next week! Dayshifts rest of this week to finish up my Complex Ops cert requirements (I get to support the upcoming Progress launch!) then back to overnight shifts after that. 🚀

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

Looks like a luxury hotel — I like it! 👌🏻

@Jack_Frodo you applying?

Deloitte's US employees can now buy $1,000 of Lego on the company's dime to boost their well-being, per BI

[Sean Anderson @astrosean_]

@mr_aspartame Honestly I typically shoot 50mm+ and sometimes 35 so that’s why the IIIx appealed to me. Looking forward to the pics!

Just wish the 2nd hand market for cameras wasn’t so bad lol
