SAOCOM 1B is the second of the two satellite SAOCOM 1 satellites and will launch into a sun-synchronous polar orbit from SLC-40, Cape Canaveral AFS. Previously, SAOCOM 1A launched from Vandenberg AFB in 2018 aboard Falcon 9 and was the first RTLS mission on the west coast. SAOCOM 1 are synthetic aperture radar Earth observation [...]
Starship SN6, equipped with a single Raptor engine (SN29), will attempt a hop at SpaceX's development and launch site at Boca Chica, Texas. The test article will rise to a maximum altitude of about 150 meters and translate a similar distance downrange to the landing pad. The flight should last approximately one minute and follow [...]
The 10th operational batch of Starlink satellites (11th overall) along with three Earth-observation satellites for Planet Labs will lift off from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Air 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. [...]
How does high tide & low tide work? Why are there so many shipwrecks in the Outer Banks? How does the sand not just wash away? Check out my visit to the Outer Banks in North Carolina and hear from some experts on why this area is so unique and also treacherous for ships in [...]
The tenth Starlink launch overall and the ninth operational batch of Starlink satellites will launch into orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. This mission is expected to deploy 58-60 Starlink satellites into an elliptical orbit roughly 25 minutes into the flight. In the weeks following launch the satellites are expected to utilize their onboard ion [...]
