Meet the #Crew10 team!
Set to launch no earlier than February 2025, these four international crew members will fly to the @Space_Station, helping @NASA prepare for the challenges of future long-duration missions: https://t.co/QpN9J5Tw8q
Hump dayyyyyy.
@NASAastronaut Mike Barratt photographed Acklins, an island in the Bahamas while aboard the International @Space_Station as it orbited 256 miles above.
Northrop Grumman's uncrewed #Cygnus spacecraft remains on track to rendezvous with the @Space_Station at 3:10am ET (0710 UTC) on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

What's aboard #Cygnus? New @ISS_Research, hardware, and supplies, and a delivery of coffee and fresh food for the @Space_Station crew: chayote squash, radishes, apples, blueberries, oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes, and carrots!
Performance stats of previous versions:
Raptor 1 (sea level variant)
Thrust: 185tf
Specific impulse: 350s
Engine mass: 2080kg
Engine + vehicle-side commodities and hardware mass: 3630kg
Raptor 2 (sea level variant)
Thrust: 230tf
Specific impulse: 347s
Engine mass: 1630kg
Engine + vehicle-side commodities and hardware mass: 2875kg
Raptor 3 is designed for rapid reuse, eliminating the need for engine heatshields while continuing to increase performance and manufacturability
With heavy rain and thick cloud settling in for the next few days, our next launch attempt for @synspective has been scheduled for NET Saturday, August 3rd local time.
