The Orion spacecraft for Artemis I will head to Ohio for the final stretch of major testing before integration with the Space Launch System rocket for launch. A team of engineers and technicians stand ready to test the spacecraft, consisting of the crew and service modules, under simulated extreme in-space conditions in the world’s premier space environments test facility at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio.

Hurricane Dorian skirted the coast of Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 3 and 4. A few days before, the Mobile Launcher, atop the crawler-transporter, was moved from Launch Pad 39B back to the Vehicle Assembly Building as a precaution. Kennedy Director Bob Cabana presented awards to NASA and contractor employees during the center's annual NASA KSC Honor Awards Ceremony on Sept. 10.

The headlines spoke of 'Rogue SpaceX Satellites' and 'Emergency Course Changes' - but making avoidance maneuvers is a regular occurrence when operating lots of satellites. So what should we make of ESA's twitter thread making a big deal about their decision to avoid a close encounter with Starlink 44?

Monster storm Hurricane Dorian has been pummelling The Bahamas for more than 24 hours now. Prior to its progress stalling for many hours as it hovered in place over Freeport, it appeared that the storm would make landfall somewhere in Florida. Kennedy Space Center has survived many hurricanes, but not without its share of damage. Let’s take a look at why NASA chose that location, what storms they’ve faced in the past, and what they’ve done to prepare for Dorian.

The goal of Von Braun Station is to build a dual-use station that is economically self-sustaining. Von Braun Stations creation will also form a space construction industry with bots, pods, drones, construction arms, new space suits, and large-scale truss building machines designed for building large structures in space. This video and the ones that will follow were made for NASA and other aerospace engineers to see that this is a technically feasible design, with a solid business plan, that will allow NASA and other space agencies to buy, rent, or lease space on this station very affordably. Later, when they have acquired the low-gravity data they need, they can move on to other projects with no binding financial ties. We ask you all the same two questions: 1. Is this a good design? 2. Is it the right time to build a rotating space station to acquire valuable, low-gravity, human physiology data? Thank you for your time and consideration.

While the spacecraft were flying about 250 miles above Eastern Mongolia, an uncrewed Russian Soyuz spacecraft arrived and docked to the International Space Station at 8:08 p.m. PDT. The Soyuz TMA-54a spacecraft attached to the station’s aft-facing Zvezda module for a two-week stay as part of its test flight. The Soyuz delivers 1,450 pounds of cargo, including a Skybot F-850 humanoid robot, to the Expedition 60 crew currently residing on the orbital outpost.

SCRUBBED!!!!! Next attempt: 8/27 at 4:00 PM (ish) central (21:00 ish UTC? —————————- SpaceX is targeting a T-0 time of around 5:00 p.m. central (22:00 UTC) the test is subject to change of time OR date. Although I currently plan on streaming at 12:30 local, it is subject to change. SpaceX plans to try and hop their StarShip prototype vehicle known as StarHopper today with serial number 6 Raptor Engine. The vehicle will hopefully fly to about 150 meters (492 feet) up will likely translate over to the landing pad about 100 meters away (328 feet). This is a very important milestone for the StarShip / StarHopper prototype, but it's also very high risk. Hopefully everything goes well so the program can continue at this rapid pace. Need to know more about the Raptor engine and why it's awesome? https://youtu.be/LbH1ZDImaI8 Want to know more about what the StarHopper is or how it differs from StarShip?

It was launched by a Soyuz 2.1a rocket on Aug 21 from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. Aboard the craft is FEDOR, also called Skybot F-850, a humanoid robot. As it approached the ISS, the Soyuz was unable to lock onto its target due to an issue with the KURS automated docking system. Since this unmanned flight did not have a TORU backup docking system either, an "Abort" command was issued by the cosmonauts on the ISS. Soyuz withdrew from the ISS to a safe distance. On Aug 25, 3 ISS crew moved the Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft from the Zvezda module to the Poisk module. On Aug 26 at 11:12 pm EDT, they will attempt to dock MS-14 to the Zvezda module.

A ULA Delta IV rocket carrying the GPS III SV-2 mission for the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center lifts off from Space Launch Complex-37 at 9:06 a.m. ET on Aug. 22, 2019.

United Launch Alliance will be launching GPS III SV02, the second of the third generation of GPS satellites for the US Air Force Space & Missile Systems Center. GPS III SV02 will be launched from SLC-was 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on a Delta IV medium rocket flying in the 4,2 configuration; 4 meter fairing, 2 GEM-60 solid rocket boosters. This will be the final launch of the Delta IV Medium, the remaining Delta IV launches will be of the Heavy variant.

This is a replay of the live stream, with archived live chat messages. Launch time: 8:12 am EDT (12:12 UTC) Launch site: Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand Rocket Lab's eighth mission will lift-off in August from Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand, carrying a total of four satellites aboard an Electron launch vehicle. Launch scrubbed on Aug 16 due to high winds. Delayed from 17 Aug due to weather forecasts. The mission is manifested with satellites destined to begin a new constellation for UNSEENLABS, as well as more rideshare payloads for Spaceflight, consisting of a spacecraft for BlackSky and the United States Air Force Space Command. The mission is manifested with a CubeSat that will form the cornerstone of a new maritime surveillance constellation for French company UNSEENLABS. The constellation aims to deliver precise, reliable, and secure maritime data, enabling organizations to monitor their own vessels and observe those that present risks, such as pirates and illegal vessels. Mission management and rideshare aggregator, Spaceflight, also manifested three satellites on its second rideshare mission with Rocket Lab. Among the rideshare payloads is BlackSky’s Global-4 Earth-imaging satellite. The satellite will join BlackSky Global-3, which was launched to low Earth orbit on an Electron vehicle in June 2019. BlackSky’s constellation delivers rapid-revisit satellite imagery to assist with monitoring economic activity such as crop development and herd migration, or surveying damage following natural disasters. The final spacecraft manifested on the mission are two experimental satellites for the United States Air Force Space Command, designed to test new technologies including propulsion, power, communications, and drag capabilities for potential applications on future spacecraft.
