SpaceX is targeting Sunday, January 24 for launch of Transporter-1, SpaceX’s first dedicated SmallSat Rideshare Program mission, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The 22-minute launch window opens at 10:00 a.m. EST, or 15:00 UTC. Falcon 9’s first stage booster previously supported launch of Crew Dragon’s second demonstration mission, the ANASIS-II mission, a Starlink mission, and launch of Dragon’s 21st cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. On board this launch are 133 commercial and government spacecraft (including CubeSats, microsats, and orbital transfer vehicles) and 10 Starlink satellites – the most spacecraft ever deployed on a single mission. The Starlink satellites aboard this mission will be the first in the constellation to deploy to a polar orbit.

Elon Musk's rocket company, SpaceX just broke a new record by launching 143 satellites into polar orbit aboard its rideshare program from Cape Canaveral on Sunday morning. Watch the recap here.

The Orion spacecraft for NASA’s Artemis I mission is one step closer to its flight to the Moon. With manufacture and assembly complete, Orion moved from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building to the Multi-Payload Processing Facility. Exploration Ground Systems and Jacobs teams, will complete ground processing for flight, which includes fueling and servicing the spacecraft in preparation for launch atop the Space Launch System later this year. Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is being prepared for the company’s second Orbital Flight Test, OFT-2, as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. A Docking System cover was installed on the Starliner crew module in the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility. Technicians also performed tests to measure the weight and balance of the spacecraft to ensure optimal performance during launch and re-entry.

Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne rocket launched to space after separating from its carrier 747 aircraft on January 17, 2021. The Launch Demo 2 mission deployed 10 tiny cubesats into orbit, which flew via NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellites program. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/virgin-orbit-launches-10-satellites-to-orbit Credit: Virgin Orbit

SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, January 20 for its seventeenth Starlink mission, which will launch 60 Starlink satellites from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center. The instantaneous window is at 8:02 a.m. EST, or 13:02 UTC. The Falcon 9 first stage rocket booster supporting this mission previously flew on seven other missions: the SXM-7 mission in December 2020, launch of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission in June 2019, launch of Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission in March 2019, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean. One half of Falcon 9’s fairing previously supported a Starlink mission and the other previously supported two.

Virgin Orbit have joined a short list of private companies which have successfully developed and launched an orbit capable rocket. Launcher One is an air launched, cryogenically fueled 2 stage rocket able to carry about 300kilograms to a 500km orbit. In terms of payload it's more capable than Rocket Lab's Electron, but more expensive, and able to operate from an airport so may actually launch satellites from the UK in the future. Virgin Orbit's website (in case you need to launch a payload) https://virginorbit.com/ Here's Erik's video of the launch from the beach: https://twitter.com/erikjfranks/status/1350897831888842752?s=20

What is LauncherOne? Why is it dropped from an airplane? How will it compete with Rocket Lab's Electron? 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Demo-2 Launch 2:09 Air-launched Rockets 4:48 Pegasus Rocket 5:21 Specs of LauncherOne 6:01 Demo-1 Recap 6:27 LauncherOne vs Electron 7:05 Conclusion Virgin Orbit reaches Space! On January 18th, 2021, the LauncherOne vehicle successfully launched the ELaNa 20 mission for NASA into orbit. This being the first to reach orbit for the company. LauncherOne is dropped from a Boeing 747 named Cosmic Girl. The two-stage rockets utilize the NewtonThree and NewtonFour engines, both developed by Virgin Orbit, and rely on Kerosene and Oxygen as their fuel source. The rocket is a two-stage small satellite launch vehicle. By using an air-launched rocket, LauncherOne is able to increase the mass it can carry to orbit. Additionally, Virgin Orbit intends to launch from airports around the globe to reach different orbit inclinations. However, this first mission reached a 500km by 500 km orbit with an inclination of 60 degrees. Disadvantages of air-launched rockets include, limited in size by the carrier aircraft, additional forces due to ascent flight, and the few moments of freefall prior to ignition. How does LauncherOne compare to Electron? Although LauncherOne can carry 500 kg to a Sun-synchronous orbit, it does cost $12 million, compared to Electron which can send 300 kg to Low Earth Orbit at a $7.5 million price point. The two vehicles will be in close competition with each other as they continue to develop and improve. Thanks for watching! And consider subscribing if you enjoyed this video!

The Core Stage of NASA's next moon rocket, SLS, static fires its four RS-25 main engines for 67.2 seconds during the Green Run test. Engine #4 had a "Major Component Failure", or MCF, signaling SLS to shutdown early. NASA is working to find the issue seen during the test. Filmed and edited by Brady Kenniston (@TheFavoritist).

Blue Origin will be conducting the 14th flight of its New Shepard launch vehicle on the NS-14 mission. Blue Origin eventually aims to enable people (with a good amount of money) to purchase a ticket on a suborbital flight. This will be the inaugural flight of the fourth New Shepard booster – the very rocket that will soon carry humans. New Shepard only has the ability to launch on a suborbital trajectory with an apogee of 119 km (74 miles) – their record. Want to learn more?!?

The date is set. NASA and its partners, Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne, will conduct a “hot fire” of the core stage for NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket on Jan. 16 at the agency’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The hot fire test is the eighth and final test of the SLS Green Run test series. Together with the previously completed structural test campaign and RS-25 test series, Green Run testing verifies the core stage and the engines are ready for NASA’s Artemis missions to the Moon. NASA will broadcast the Green Run Hot Fire test live on NASA TV and the agency’s website. For more information about SLS and Green Run, visit https://www.nasa.gov/greenrun

The Nuclear Salt Water Rocket is a rocket engine concept that uses a rapid nuclear reaction in a Uranium salt dissolved in water to create a high thrust, high efficiency engine which eclipses the performance of any rocket engine ever designed. It's a concept originally presented by Robert Zubrin, which is appealing because it looks more scientifically plausable than many other futuristic propulsion concepts. It's also scary on so many levels, using a propellent that has to be stabilized by specially designed tanks, and relies on managing a small nuclear explosion with power outputs of hundreds of gigawatts.

SpaceX is targeting 9:15 p.m. EST on Thursday, January 7 for launch of the Turksat 5A mission from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. There is a back-up opportunity available on Friday, January 8, with a four-hour launch window opening at 8:28 p.m. EST, or 01:28 UTC on January 9. Falcon 9’s first stage booster previously supported launch of GPS III Space Vehicle 03 and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Falcon 9’s fairing is also flight-proven: one half previously supported the GPS III Space Vehicle 03 mission and the other flew aboard the ANASIS-II mission.

In December 2018, we completed the second qualification test for the launch abort motor for NASA’s Orion Spacecraft. The motor fired for 5 seconds with a force of just under 370,000 pounds and will be used to pull the crewed capsule away from NASA's Space Launch System in the event of an emergency on the launch pad or during ascent. The next major milestone for the motor will be the Ascent Abort-2 Flight Test (AA-2) that will take place in 2019.
