A huge fun of SpaceX & Elon. Confession: Until 1st launch of F9, I thought Elon was another jackass in space.

Mars crew transporter in my head since Elon's 2019 Boca Chica presen. Terrible animation... I know😅 Working for improvement. Each side has 4 Starships around a cylindrical crew module. For arti. gravity and high E particle protection. (Background night time Earth photo: NASA)

For @NASA’s next generation of deep space exploration missions, spacecraft may need to refuel in Earth orbit before pushing farther into the solar system.

Engineers from #NASAMarshall and L3Harris are testing a technology vital for in-orbit refueling: https://t.co/oeqGBtvzpj

Quite a sight to see the progress this team has made since May 28. Wreckage recovery from start to finish was completed in 9 days, and all debris has been cleared from Launch Complex 36. Huge shoutout to the team who have been working 7x24. We have started reconstruction and still plan to fly again this year. Will have more details on the new conop soon.

Electron has been selected by @nasa for three launches in 2027 to deploy its PolSIR and TSIS-2 Sun and Earth sciences missions.

We've been delivering reliability, precise orbital accuracy, and on-demand launch for NASA missions for almost a decade - and we're ready to deliver that once again for PolSIR and TSIS-2 from Launch Complex 1 early next year.

Ship 40 loaded up with propellant this afternoon at Massey's and then...did something? We don't know if it was an igniter test or an aborted SF but a couple of flashes seemed to appear at the base of the ship.

Elon confirms "Starmind" will be the official name of @SpaceX's AI satellite constellation.

Earlier this year, SpaceX filed a request with the FCC to launch and operate a constellation of 1 million AI satellites.

STARSHIP CHOPSTICK ROLLOUT

One of the two chopsticks needed for the first SLC-37 Starship launch tower is currently rolling out from the SpaceX Roberts Road facility!

It's also worth mentioning there's a lot of work to be done on this chopstick before it's ready to be installed on the tower (which is currently being stacked).

So, how big is a microreactor?

Our MARVEL reactor will be roughly the size of an average sedan and produce enough energy to power 10 U.S. homes.

[Lesley Varin @LesleyVarin]

@NASASpaceflight Impressive as always. 🚀💛

SpaceX’s debut high-grade bond sale just pulled around $89 billion in investor demand

That is so massive

The company was looking to raise at least $20 billion, but demand came in more than 4x that amount

This is the credit market telling you SpaceX is no longer being treated like a risky rocket startup

It is being treated like a major infrastructure giant
Investors want exposure to the whole machine
SpaceX already had the biggest IPO ever

Now its first investment-grade bond sale is being flooded with demand

Now the market wants in on the SpaceX era

Leak shroud testing – the six-sided metal enclosure around the nozzle is designed to simulate the engine bay of the integrated rocket to identify any fuel or oxidizer leaks during a full mission duty cycle burn.

This is a key test to help retire risk for stage static fire and flight.🚀

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

Some interesting details in this IG report:

• SpaceX says it needs at least 15 launches for HLS landing
• Blue Origin seeking third New Glenn pad, just north of NASA's LC-39 complex
• SLS nitrogen demands may cause 1-2 month blackout of N2

SpaceX is slowly marching towards Starship Flight 13, Florida's LC-39A is closing in on completion, SLC-37A is making great progress, and Pad 2 has just performed *11 deluge tests* on the bounce.

👩‍🚀🇫🇷 Sophie Adenot a testé l’EuroSuit sur l’ISS : le prototype français de combinaison spatiale poursuit son développement.

Une récente communication de la NASA confirme que l’astronaute française Sophie Adenot a participé à une nouvelle campagne d’essais du prototype de combinaison spatiale EuroSuit à bord de l’ISS.

🔹 Le 11 juin 2026, Sophie Adenot a réalisé une nouvelle session de test de l’EuroSuit dans le module européen Columbus de la Station spatiale internationale.

🔹 Cette campagne correspond à la deuxième des trois sessions prévues, après une première série d’essais menée fin mai 2026 et mentionnée dans un précédent rapport de la NASA daté du 29 mai.

🔹 Développé par le CNES en partenariat avec Decathlon, Spartan Space et le MEDES, EuroSuit est un prototype de combinaison intra-véhiculaire conçu pour être utilisé à l’intérieur des vaisseaux spatiaux.

🔹 L’objectif de cette campagne est d’évaluer la capacité d’un astronaute à enfiler et retirer seul la combinaison en moins de 2 minutes en conditions de microgravité.

🔹 Les essais portent également sur la mobilité, le confort, l’ergonomie ainsi que la capacité à manipuler différents objets et interfaces tactiles à bord de la station.

🔹 Une fois les expérimentations terminées à bord de l’ISS, ce prototype de démonstration ne reviendra pas sur Terre et sera éliminé avec les déchets de la station.

🔹 À la fin de chaque session, Sophie Adenot documente son expérience afin de fournir aux ingénieurs des retours détaillés sur l’utilisation de la combinaison. Les informations recueillies serviront à affiner sa conception et à développer au sol une version opérationnelle d’ici fin 2027.

👉 Il ne reste plus qu’à espérer que le @CNES, @Decathlon ou @Spartan__space dévoilent prochainement les images de notre Sophie nationale, portant cette combinaison spatiale française testée en orbite !

Following additional observations across our global network and analysis via LeoLabs Delta, we have independently cataloged this object and assessed with high confidence that it was released from the Chinese spaceplane.
