With less than a year to go before the planned launch of Artemis III, NASA leaders laid out a packed schedule for the mission, including three rocket launches that will send the Orion capsule and two lunar landers into orbit sciam.com/article/nasa-l…

The Real Shape of Planetary Trajectories: 3D Helical Solar System This scientifically grounded 3D simulation visualizes the true paths of our solar system, relying on real Kepler elements and J2000 mean anomalies rather than purely artistic interpretation.

I'll take the upper stage upgraded performance with a stretched Centaur But the aesthetics... 😅

Orion with the stretched Centaur (and they are working on a kick stage option), after NASA decided the EUS wasn't going to satisfy the timelines.

Starship's 12th launch was successful. The SuperHeavy Booster returned to Earth, but the connection was lost, so the return couldn't be seen.

Solar Activity Report: Oct. 12 -18, 2026 Solar activity remained predominantly at low levels throughout the reporting period, except on October 16, when activity briefly reached moderate levels following an M1.3 flare from active region 14551, the largest event of the week.

Milestone: FedEx Receives the World's First ATR 72-600 P2F with a Large Cargo Door ACIA Aero Leasing has delivered the world's first ATR 72-600 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion equipped with a Large Cargo Door (LCD) to FedEx, marking a significant milestone for regional air cargo. Registered as N830FE (MSN 1239), the aircraft represents a new development in the ATR 72-600 platform, combining the flexibility of a converted passenger aircraft with enhanced cargo-loading capability. Large Cargo Door (LCD): The installation of a massive forward 2.94 m x 1.80 m (116" x 71") main deck cargo door allows the aircraft to accept standard industry Unit Load Devices (ULDs) ACIA says MSN 1239 will establish a blueprint for future conversions, as demand continues for modern turboprop freighters. The milestone comes as FedEx continues to invest in its regional feeder network. In March 2025, the company ordered 10 factory-built ATR 72-600F freighters, with deliveries scheduled between 2027 and 2029. This delivery highlights the evolving role of turboprop aircraft in regional logistics, connecting smaller markets with major air cargo hubs. 📹 Courtesy: ACIA Aero Leasing #ATR72600 #P2F #AirCargo #AviationNews #FreighterAircraft #AviationIndustry

That's a wrap on #AUSA2026! 🇺🇸 Last week, the Redwire booth focused on the customer, the mission, and ongoing discussions about modernization and the ever-evolving battlespace landscape. We were proud to introduce our Octopus 140 LWIR EO/IR payload during the show, highlighting how the combination of full HD EO and LWIR imaging with an integrated laser rangefinder comes together to enable fast decisions in real-world situations. And in a live demo of our #ISR capabilities, we welcomed visitors to our booth to step behind the controls of an Octopus 140 payload flying on a Stalker #UAS as "You Control the Mission" in a scavenger hunt to find targets and win prizes. The Washington Commanders mascot even stopped by for some fun photos with the Redwire team and fans. A big thanks from the Redwire team to the soldiers, partners, and program leaders who made it a great week! Made for the Mission. Ready Now. #USArmy #Modernization #MadeForTheMission #CombatProven
