Good luck and God speed to Ingenuity on the eve of its 50th flight on Mars! Our solar panel on the #MarsHelicopter is part of our long history of powering satellites and spacecraft for @NASAJPL that are exploring our solar system.
The #MarsHelicopter is preparing for Flight 50! Ingenuity is expected to take off no earlier than April 5. It’s set to fly more than 1,000 ft (~306 meters) for 138 seconds. go.nasa.gov/4121NaJ
Rocket tanks and domes are historically difficult, long lead, and expensive. We put manufacturing first with an innovative approach that we can do in-house with very small machines and limited tooling. These tanks and domes all started as commodity sheet metal less than one month…
Fly ‘em to the Moon! @NASA has named @NASA_Astronauts @Astro_Christina, @AstroVicGlover, @astro_reid and @csa_asc @Astro_Jeremy as the crew of the #Artemis II mission. Artemis II will fly the crew of four to the Moon and back to Earth! Together, we are going!
📰NEWS @strocast and @ThurayaTelecom announce strengthening collaboration through a strategic investment in LEO IoT. This agreement aims to reinforce @yahsatofficial's mobility arm positioning in the #IoT market. ➡️ Read the press release: astrocast.com/news/astrocast… #IoTSolutions
Congratulations to Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Reid Wiseman of NASA, and Jeremy Hansen, as the #NASA Artemis 2 crew in ‘24! This is a great honor, a proud moment for you and for the nation. Your role in carrying out America’s effort in space will be one of high inspiration!
Interesting choice of words by Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch about the mission's launch vehicle. We will be launching ... "On top of the most powerful rocket that NASA’s ever made."
#BlackSky imagery shows the path taken by the recent #LittleRockTornado, as well as the resulting damage. Our hearts go to all those affected by not only this #tornado, but the 50+ storms that devastated communities across the U.S. last weekend. #LittleRock #Arkansas #ARwx
@RocketLab successfully launched its “Beat Goes On” mission, with two Gen-2 🇺🇸 @BlackSky_Inc satellites via 🇺🇸 @SpaceflightInc, from 🇳🇿New Zealand. @SpaceNews_Inc: rb.gy/sezq5n 🚀More on launch info: rb.gy/rbk4up
We’re around 10 mins from payload deployment for @BlackySky_Inc, but in the meantime we can confirm good splashdown of Electron’s first stage as planned! The recovery team is on their way to retrieve the stage from the ocean. Another step toward making Electron a reusable rocket.
Rocket Lab confirms the Electron booster splashed down under parachute in the Pacific Ocean as planned. A recovery vessel will move in to pull the one-ton booster from the sea for inspections, another step toward Rocket Lab's booster reuse goals. spaceflightnow.com/2023/03/24/ele…
Rocket Lab's second stage shut off after reaching a preliminary transfer orbit, then deployed a kick stage for a final orbit adjustment before releasing the two BlackSky satellites. Meanwhile, the main parachute on the booster stage has deployed. spaceflightnow.com/2023/03/24/ele…
