I think @orbitalpodcast are underestimating the accuracy of old-school ranging through the comms system. Navigation definitely requires precise orientation knowledge, but keeping an accurate clock and updated orbit (uploaded from ground) is just as important!
Cheesy video, but a fantastic boost to the Australian space sector.
Get ready for lift-off Australia 🚀 @ScottMorrisonMP has announced we’re investing $150 million into the 🇦🇺 space sector, as we join @NASA on its inspirational journey back to the Moon and on to Mars! @AusSpaceAgency

@orbitalpodcast is 100% right about collision avoidance being an archaic system of emails. Works fine for slow, spaced out GEOs, but maybe not mega constellations of LEOs ...
#thisweekSF on August 6 2005, Shuttle Discovery (STS-114) undocks from the ISS, leaving much behind including some bits of damaged thermal shield (also experiments and new CMG)!
I generally trust aircraft but this would be freaking me out

@orbitalpodcast were talking about #starlink satellites deorbiting. An important consideration is altitude of perigee. High perigee means low drag for the whole orbit: decay is slow. Low perigee is constantly draging down apogee: decay is faster. Hope pics help 😁
#thisweeksf the Giotto (gelato???) spacecraft from ESA returned to Earth (flyby) on 2nd July 1990. Sean Probst was a fictional character who also returned to Earth, with a comet, but also dies 😔
@nerik @JulesGrandin 🤦♂️ Might be great for you all in the Northern Hemisphere but Australia and New Zealand aren't half a world away ...
I'm PSYCHED for this mission 🗻🛰
🤘 Are you ready to rock? @NASAPsyche moves closer to its journey to a metal asteroid that could be the heart of a planet: go.nasa.gov/2MJeE0e
✅ Success! The harpoon test to clean up space junk - right on target 🎯 👏 airbus.com/newsroom/news/…
#thisweeksf October 12, 1977 was "test" shuttle Enterprise Approach and Landing Test 4: the first free flight to ditch the aft 'tail cone' to properly simulate drag from exposed engines
Rocket soft landed in the ocean within 10m of target & nicely vertical! High probability of good droneship landing in non-stormy weather.

The first step to admitting you have a problem is Googling it

@MaynardeSC2 you were great! So stoked to hear an Aussie commentating #SC2 the whole weekend
@universetoday it would have to be at least overseen by government agencies, UN perhaps?
Mondays are fine. It's just your job you hate.
