    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.

    Slight move to the right for Flight 15. Vehicle readiness is looking good, so it's likely regulatory approval for the catches is coming into play.

    RT @Alexphysics13: 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?

    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

    ‘Taking Flight’ (nearly).  Our beautiful Artemis III Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage left the surface of the earth (briefly) today as it ‘flew over the hump’ via a giant crane in the Vehicle Assembly Building to be mated between our 2 already assembled Solid Rocket Boosters on the Mobile Launcher.  Spectacular job by our SLS, Exploration Ground Systems,and  @NASAKennedy team! Go @NASAArtemis III!

    RT @ENNEPS: SpaceX's Starbase Vehicle Roulette continued last night as Ship 43 returned to the Production Site following its visit to the pad for Chopstick testing. Meanwhile its potential Flight 16 partner Booster 23 made a return trip to Massey's potentially for more cryo testing, where Ship 42 (flight 15) is waiting following its static fire testing. @NASASpaceflight |
