    RT @NASAKennedy: Two vessels. One spaceport. Endless possibilities. 🚀🌕 @NASA's Pegasus barge and @SpaceX's You’ll Thank Me Later transport ship are pictured together in Kennedy Space Center’s turn basin. As the world’s premier spaceport, Kennedy’s shared infrastructure helps NASA and its partners prepare for the next era of exploration and future Moon missions.

    RT @astro_reid: Pasadena, California here we come! I am thrilled to join @Caltech and @NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as they continue their legacy into the next 90 years of deep space exploration... The stars are calling and WE MUST GO!

    RT @davill: Today our team lifted and installed New Glenn's second stage (GS2) at @NASAStennis. The vehicle was tandem lifted from its cradle using the Main Derrick Crane at the historic B-2 Test Stand to lift the forward end, while a mobile tailing crane simultaneously lifted the aft end. GS2 was shifted to a vertical orientation, lifted 218 feet above ground, and lowered into the B-2 test position. A great example of what Team Blue and our NASA partners can accomplish together. Final preparations for our first hotfire test are ongoing.

    RT @RocketLab: Neutron’s Stage 2 and Thrust Module have arrived to Virginia. After a short barge ride from the Neutron Factory, these major assemblies have now been offloaded on Wallops Island and are going through arrival checkouts. Next up: integrated fluids testing and launch mount interface checkouts for the Thrust Module, with Stage 2 to follow on the test stand beside it soon after.

    RT @AmazonLeo: Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01) update: Our first mission on @ulalaunch's Vulcan rocket is set for Friday, Nov. 13, pending range approval. All 40 Leo satellites—our largest payload to date—have been integrated with Vulcan inside Amazon's vertical integration facility (VIF-A) at the Cape, and teams are working through final processing ahead of launch from SLC-41. Follow along with upcoming Leo missions:

    RT @SpaceX: Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

    Interesting to see the RVacs having serial numbers under 200 when every other engine so far in this stack is well into the 200s. NASA had confirmed that this flight was carrying new Raptor 3 engines with upgrades, but maybe the RVacs aren't yet of the new Raptor 3 type?

    Starship Flight 16: Ship 43 has returned to the production site from its Pad 2 chopstick tests, with Booster 23 set to head out to Massey's for cryotesting. This duo is expected to sail to KSC to be the first Starship flight from 39A.

    RT @efraser77: So...we expected Ship 43 to go back to Production during tonight's first delay. But we had assumed the second delay, to Massey's, was just for a stand. We may have been wrong. Cuz that's Booster 23 in the doorway. 🎥: | @NASASpaceflight
