Starship SN9, equipped with three sea-level Raptor engines will attempt a high-altitude hop at SpaceX's development and launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. For this test, the vehicle will ascend to an altitude of approximately 10km (confirmed), before moving from a vertical orientation (as on ascent), to horizontal orientation, in which the broadside (+ z) [...]
There has been a lot of confusion about the upcoming #SpaceX #Starship SN9 launch so I thought we should spend a few minutes going over what it means to obtain FAA Approval, what the criteria is, why the FAA is involved along with a number of other questions surrounding the FAA Approval process for all [...]
On Thursday, January 28, 2021, SpaceX scrubbed their launch attempt in Boca Chica, TX for their Starship prototype named SN9, because the FAA reported refused to grant them approval to fly due to "outstanding safety issues". They are expected to attempt their test flight now on Friday, January 29th and hope to fly to an [...]
The loss of Space Shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986 was one of the most significant "where were you" moments in recent history. Like many schoolchildren across the country, maybe you were watching Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe. Or like millions of others, perhaps you learned of the accident shortly afterward and tuned in to [...]
This is a launch to sun-synchronous polar orbit from Florida as part of SpaceX's Rideshare program dedicated to smallsat customers. The mission again makes use of the Eastern Range's recently reopened polar corridor launching southward with a dogleg maneuver. The mission will also include 10 Starlink satellites, the first to go to a polar orbit. [...]

The 16th operational batch of Starlink satellites (17th overall) will lift off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida on a Falcon 9 rocket. In the weeks following deployment the Starlink satellites will use onboard ion thrusters to reach their operational altitude of 550 km. Falcon 9's first stage will attempt to land [...]
Virgin Orbit successfully reached low Earth orbit with its air to launch liquid fueled orbital rocket which is launched from a plane. Their successful rocket launch took place on Sunday, January 17, 2021 and successfully deployed 10 cubesats into orbit. How does it work and why doesn't every rocket work like this? Let's dive in [...]
