Such sad news about J-B. We first met at the 2008 @SpaceSafety conference and I thoroughly enjoyed working on safety position papers etc and socialising with him on the many conferences since. Bless him - R.I.P my friend, you shall be missed 🙏😢

What a successful launch by B2Space team!
This rocket launch get us to the last step in our technology roadmap and demonstration for our rockoon launch system.
All elements are now validated and tested, and we are ready for the first controlled rockoon launch.

[UK Space Agency @spacegovuk]

A Starlink satellite re-entered the Earth's atmosphere earlier today, with a low chance it may burn up over the UK very shortly.

We are monitoring its re-entry together with @DefenceHQ, and there is no expectation the re-entry will cause any damage.

Prelim analysis: @fireflyspace Alpha rocket engine #2 shut down about 15 sec. after liftoff when prop valve closed due to loss of electrical signal, CEO Tom Markusic tells @AviationWeek. Engines survived FTS destruct, fall from 50,000 ft & were recovered. Photo credit: Firefly

Sorry to see that @fireflyspace had a (fairly spectacular) failure on their first launch attempt.
