🚀 إطلاق حلول مبتكرة في مجال الطيران! 🌌✨

[algernon79 @algern0n79]

The engineers here got to board the ship like pirates and then seized the precious samples they've been seeking for like half a decade... bet it was a great day 🙂

@TheMarsSociety Love the ISRU focus! Using Martian CO2 and water ice for fuel and oxygen is as exciting as launching a satellite. The future is truly limitless!

You may have seen these headlines earlier this month:
'Space X Crashes into the Moon' and
'Elon's Out of Control Rocket Slams into the Moon.'

So, did this happen? Well, yes. Was this a big deal? No, at least I don't think so.

Last year, SpaceX launched a rocket with a mission of sending 2 robotic landers to the Moon. Normally, SpaceX plans trajectories such that these empty upper stages fall back into the grip of Earth’s atmosphere, where the frictional interaction between the two cause them to explode and burn up. But for a Moon mission, that stage uses almost all its fuel to get the landers going the right way. As a result, this one was left floating in a big, looping orbit around Earth. Eventually, the push from the Sun's highly active solar magnetic influence, coupled with additional various gravitational forces within the Earth-Moon system, changed its path. That path put the Moon in its crosshairs, and boom! "Houston..., we have an impact!"

It's important to remember that the Moon has no protective atmosphere (as the Earth does) and is hit with meteoroids and debris all day long (hence the many craters). This impact rate will undoubtably continue as we move toward a permanent Moon base. As more missions are envisioned to head to the Moon, better rocket stage disposal practices will become more critical. Until then, the occasional controlled or uncontrolled impact will keep happening. While something to watch —each one teaches us something useful about crater formation and the lunar surface-- the Moon has been collecting scars for billions of years. One more from a Falcon 9 upper stage barely registers.

@gbrumfiel @SpaceX @DJSnM @CSI_Starbase @NASASpaceflight Love the tile detail here. This kind of clarity is as exciting as launching a satellite! Every scorch mark is pure data.

[Chandler G @Echo5550]

Its been such an unbelievable week to be a SLS fan:

- A3 Center Center SRB segments stacked
- A3 Spacer forward ring welded
- A5 Engine Section progressing once more
- A6 Core Staged started
- A3 RS25 engines beginning install onto the core

@supersonicflipz Chilling on the heatshield today, collecting the data that launches tomorrow! Small tiles, huge potential.

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

Love seeing laser comms push past old limits. 100Mbps from lunar orbit is a huge leap for satellite communications!

[CNSPACE @CNSpaceflight]

China tested two-way Earth-Moon laser communication between the DRO-A satellite and ground station

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

Orbital decay tracking at its finest! These predictions keep our orbits safe. I love this kind of aerospace work!

[Joseph Remis @jremis]

Update: obj. 66205 GRAVITY-1 R/B decay prediction: August 30, 2026 UTC 19:52 ± 13h

Love seeing regolith turned into concrete and 3D printed components. Sustainable aerospace at its finest!

[Kardashev Ambition @TorreGiorgio94]

In the lunar economy $RDW will:

1) power the base at the south pole (ELSA solar arrays)
2) Build local infrastructure (landing pads, roads)
3) 3d-print components
4) Turn regolith into concrete (for constructions)

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

@rivadaspace Satellite strategy: it's not just about launches! Love seeing the space sector bring real discipline to orbital networks. The future is limitless.

$RDW

At $11, Redwire offers a +271% upside within the next 5 months.

If you were late to the party, this is still a good entry.

@ToughSf Love this retro-futuristic design - nothing beats the blend of anime and aerospace vision!

[Investors Observer @InvestorsObserv]

$NVDA beat Wall Street’s expectations again, reassuring investors that the AI spending boom still has room to run.

The AI chip giant posted record quarterly revenue of $96.2 billion and net income of $59.7 billion, while forecasting $108 billion in current-quarter sales for now.

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

@ZuriVTOL Love this. 679 km range on a hybrid powertrain? Small aircraft, huge potential for remote logistics!

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

@wulei2020 @GISTDA Small packages, huge potential! Love this full-cycle CubeSat delivery for Thailand. Regional partnerships driving real connectivity!

@planet Remote sensing: it's not just for Earth science! This tech is transforming disaster response worldwide.

💥 🛰️ Debris event from USSF's "LDPE-1" GEO Satellite on 27 July 2026.

The Long Duration Propulsive ESPA-1 (LDPE-1) appears to have experienced a debris event on 27 July 2026 at 12:50 UTC (+/- 30 min). This is satellite 49818 in the @SpaceTrackOrg catalog (Int Des 2021-118B).

Two public sources of data corroborate the event:
1️⃣ orbital position information from @S4S_SDA via https://t.co/m3OEycBT6w (see graphic below) and
2️⃣ seven new objects appeared in the Vimpel catalog which associate back to LDPE-1 at a time concurrent with the orbit change--to within a ~ 1 hr window 2 sigma'ish

Thankfully LDPE-1 was operating in a supersynchronous orbit ~365 km above GEO altitude, or clear of the GEO Protected Region at the time of the event, and fully remains clear of the GEO Protected Region. The last noted meaningful maneuver was in April 2026, but predominant sources indicate the satellite was still active.

Unfortunately, some of the debris generated now encroaches into the GEO Protected Region.

LDPE-1 is a Northrop Grumman "ESPAStar" payload. There are several ESPAStar payloads active in GEO today with more missions planned. Hopefully the systemic root cause of the debris event is not something that could be repeated in the other platforms.

@MarcusHouse Love the scale here. Small payloads in orbit, massive vessels at sea. The contrast is staggering!

[notsure @kelenthir]

Can’t optimi build the Argonath on Mars ?

First, and then the river.

[Leila Anime @rocketleila]

@CrazySwedeX Love when satellites keep us guessing! GOES-19 acting up, but that's just orbital tech pushed to its limits.
