We've got updates from the CEO, we've got @NASASpaceflight flyover pics, Visible & Radar satellite imagery; and I've tried to piece it all together as @BlueOrigin begins the repair work at Launch Complex-36 → https://t.co/qMVPAupFec

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

Starship Update with Ryan Caton (@dpoddolphinpro)

https://t.co/bSx7ip6YVp

[Ryan Caton @dpoddolphinpro]

Great news for European Human Spaceflight:
"Thomas Pesquet will serve as Commander for Vast’s private astronaut mission to the International Space Station".

Pending who will command Ax-5, Pesquet could become the first Non-former-NASA Astronaut to Command a PAM mission (this used to be a requirement under the previous administration).

"ESA Reserve Astronaut Arnaud Prost is intended to serve as a flight test engineer on the first crewed mission and flight acceptance test for Haven-1".

Happy belated Starbase Day @colleenadastra !

Really surprised (in a good way) Never Tell Me The Odds survived that overpressure wave.

Now for the rebuild of the pad. Remember, they were already planning to build a new one at the old LC-11 area, so we might see two new sets of pad towers rising at the same time.

Thank you for being here today. Your support means a lot to the whole team. We will get back to flight, and we will get to the Moon. Gradatim Ferociter.

We're covering the Atlas V 551 launch of 29 Amazon Leo satellites from SLC-41 here:

https://t.co/3tGr8w0fD8

[ULA @ulalaunch]

United Launch Alliance has initiated the countdown for today's launch of the Atlas V rocket to deploy 29 advanced broadband satellites into space for Amazon Leo. Our launch opportunity opens at 7:33:30 p.m. EDT (2333:30 UTC) for liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The launch countdown is a tightly scripted sequence of procedures and steps over the next seven hours that will complete pre-launch testing, fill the rocket with propellants and put systems into flight mode.

Our live status blog begins at 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 UTC) prior to the start of fueling operations and the livestream starts 20 minutes before launch.
