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?

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.

The Starship Hopper Test vehicle took a giant leap to using the Raptor engine showing that this new engine can provide the thrust and control needed to make flights and veritcal landings. However it is likely the last flight of this single engine vehicle since SpaceX plans to move on to the larger Starship Prototypes with multiple engines. The test didn't go off without a hitch but in the end there were celebrations from all involved and looking forward to bigger things. Thanks to Everyday Astronaut / Tim Dodd for his excellent test footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsoS6C0uzGY Also thanks to Steve Harris who's analysis convinced me I needed to take a closer look at the landing engine exhaust.

Starhopper's test flight in Boca Chica, TX.

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.

*The YouTube event start time reflects the targeted liftoff time for this mission. The live webcast will begin about 15 minutes before liftoff. SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, August 6 for launch of AMOS-17 from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The launch window opens at 6:53 p.m. EDT, or 22:53 UTC, and closes at 8:21 p.m. EDT, or 00:21 UTC on August 7. The satellite will be deployed approximately 31 minutes after liftoff. Falcon 9’s first stage for the AMOS-17 mission previously supported the Telstar-19 VANTAGE mission in July 2018 and the Es’hail-2 mission in November 2018.

Join me live as we discuss the #SpaceX's 10th mission of the year and the first with no planned landing. It will be carrying the #Amos17 satellite to GTO. This mission is provided by SpaceX to Spacecom for free due to the Amos-6 static fire failure, which destroyed the satellite and precluded the launch. This mission will launch from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral AFS on a Falcon 9, and the first-stage booster will be expended. This is SpaceX's tenth mission of 2019, the third GTO launch of the year and the seventy-fourth Falcon 9 launch overall. It will re-use the Block 5 booster flown on the Telstar 19V and Es'hail 2 missions for its final flight. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://patreon.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

SpaceX successfully hopped their StarShip prototype vehicle known as StarHopper today with serial number 6 Raptor Engine. The vehicle successfully flew to about 20 meters (60 feet) up and translated over a bit to the side as well. This is a very important milestone for the StarShip / StarHopper prototype, even though it may not have looked like much! Sorry for the change in exposure, I tried switching from auto exposure down to a fixed shutter speed at the apex and then switched back.

At 6:01 p.m. EDT, or 22:01 UTC, on Thursday, July 25, SpaceX launched its eighteenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-18) from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Dragon separated from Falcon 9’s second stage about nine minutes after liftoff. The Dragon spacecraft supporting the CRS-18 mission previously supported the CRS-6 mission in April 2015 and the CRS-13 mission in December 2017. Following stage separation, SpaceX recovered Falcon 9’s first stage on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

SpaceX is launching their Falcon 9 Rocket on its 18th resupply mission to the International Space Station. The experiments onboard, including everything from bioprinting organs to researching the effects of microgravity on the human body, will help scientists understand microgravity more than ever before. The U.S. ISS National Lab is sending 25 scientific projects, an all-time high for a resupply mission, of which 17 are private-sector projects sponsored by the lab. Goodyear is testing the production of new silica forms and structures to inform future evaluations of manufacturing tires, while Adidas is including soccer balls to study how a spherical, free-flying object rotates in space to help inform how free-flying objects interact with their environment. Nickelodeon is even filming how slime acts in microgravity to teach its young viewers about the basics of fluid dynamics.

While I'm travelling I'm hoping to keep up to date with the important news - SpaceX's latest Falcon Heavy launch was the first night launch, and one of the most spectacular launches in decades. Look for me on this year's Asteroid Day.

SpaceX is targeting Monday, June 24 for a Falcon Heavy launch of the STP-2 mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The primary launch window opens at 11:30 p.m. EDT, or 3:30 UTC on June 25, and closes at 3:30 a.m. EDT on June 25, or 7:30 UTC. A backup launch window opens on June 25 at 11:30 p.m. EDT, or 3:30 UTC on June 26, and closes at 3:30 a.m. EDT on June 26, or 7:30 UTC. Deployments will begin approximately 12 minutes after liftoff and end approximately 3 hours and 32 minutes after liftoff. Falcon Heavy’s side boosters for the STP-2 mission previously supported the Arabsat-6A mission in April 2019. Following booster separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Falcon Heavy’s center core will attempt to land on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

For the first time, SpaceX has launched its Falcon Heavy rocket with US Air Force payload onboard. It's also the first time that SpaceX has launched its Falcon Heavy with reused rockets. The launch is an audition of sorts to get SpaceX a potentially multibillion-dollar government contract for future launches.

SpaceX is gearing up for its busiest Falcon Heavy megarocket launch yet and now, thanks to the U.S. Air Force and NASA. The rocket, just shy of 230 feet tall has been the tallest rocket and most powerful rocket since the Saturn V rockets last used in the Apollo space program in 1973. It consists of three boosters instead of one, and fires all of its 27 engines simultaneously producing more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff. Per SpaceX’s official confirmation, a “quick-look” inspection of static fire telemetry has indicated that the company’s Falcon Heavy rocket is ready for its next launch in less than three months, a milestone that could also allow both flight-proven side boosters to tie SpaceX’s own record for booster turnaround. When the next SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches on 24th June Monday from NASA's historic Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the heavy-lift rocket will be carrying 24 different satellites for the Air Force's Space Test Program-2 mission. If you're wondering what two dozen satellites look like inside a Falcon Heavy nose cone, wonder no more. In this video Engineering Today will discuss, SpaceX Falcon Heavy megarocket which goes vertical ahead of planned Monday launch.Why Elon Musk says this Monday's Falcon Heavy flight will be SpaceX'smost difficult launch ever? Let’s get into details. #EngineeringToday #SpaceX #SpaceXFalconHeavy Inspired by www.teslarati.com www.space.com AUDIO: Voiceover by Scott Leffler -- scottleffler.com

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches their sixth mission of 2019 and the first mission for the #Starlink network to supply worldwide broadband internet from low Earth orbit. This will be the first of many Starlink launches launching a total of 60 generation 1 Starlink satellites. Each satellite weights 227kg adding up to a total payload mass of 13620kg. The deployment of the satellites will start about one hour after launch in a 440km high low earth orbit. The satellites will use their own onboard krypton fueled ion engines to raise their orbit to the planned 550km operating altitude. The Starlink satellites will enable high bandwidth low latency connection everywhere around the globe. According to tweets of Musk, limited service will be able to start after 7 Starlink launches, moderate after 12. The first stage will try to perform a landing after lifting the second stage together with the payload to about 70 to 90 km. Due to the very high payload mass, the stage will not have enough propellant left on board, so will instead land about 610km offshore on Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY), SpaceX east coast Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS). Tug boat Hollywood and support-ship Go Quest are a safe distance from the landing zone and will return the booster to Port Canaveral after the Landing. Go Navigator and Crew Dragon recovery vessel Go Searcher are about 120km further offshore and will try to recover both payload fairing halves after they parachute back from space and softly touch down on the ocean surface. They two will return to Port Canaveral after the mission. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

SpaceX and Blue Origin think point-to-point space travel will replace flights as the preferred means of passenger travel. A plane ride from New York City to Shanghai is about 15 hours - and it could be as long as 29 hours with connecting flights. With point-to-point travel, SpaceX says it could get you there in less than an hour. How realistic is this approach to long-haul travel? As companies like Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic and Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin close in on offering trips to the edge of space, space tourism is becoming a possibility. But what if spaceships went farther — and faster? Point-to-point space travel has been touted as a business line by SpaceX, Elon Musk’s rocket and spacecraft company. » Subscribe to CNBC: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBC » Subscribe to CNBC TV: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCtelevision » Subscribe to CNBC Classic: https://cnb.cx/SubscribeCNBCclassic About CNBC: From 'Wall Street' to 'Main Street' to award winning original documentaries and Reality TV series, CNBC has you covered.
