Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

I didn't either.

Glad to see such a smooth mission after so many years of delays.

Uhh... that's not ideal.

The leak observed over the course of more than three hours on Wednesday night emanating from a Soyuz spacecraft was jarring. Here's what we know right now:https://t.co/N0ICoTY1MC

In space, would that not also create propulsion and send the craft spinning in circles?

Theoretically, but I don't think this was near that energetic.

Three Falcon 9 launches scheduled for tomorrow. One from VSFB and two from the Cape. The two in Florida are 33 minutes apart.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, December 16 for a Falcon 9 launch of the SES O3b mPOWER mission to medium-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 5:21 p.m. ET (22:21 UTC), and a backup opportunity is available on Saturday, December 17 with an 87-minute launch window opening at 4:21 p.m. ET (21:21 UTC).

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

RIP InSight. It's always amazing how these missions always vastly outperform their expected life. It made it 4 years after a planned duration of 2.

After more than four years, 1,300 marsquakes, and countless scientific discoveries, our @NASAInSight lander has reached the end of its mission.

InSight may be retiring, but its legacy—and its findings from the deep interior of Mars—will live on: https://t.co/8884Slrbxr pic.twitter.com/UKozd4P28g

Didn't know where else to put this, but still cool. Around Feb. 1st, a comet.

SpaceX is targeting 9:56 a.m. ET (14:56 UTC) on Tuesday, January 3 for Falcon 9’s launch of the Transporter-6 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, Intelsat G-33/G-34 and 10 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Transporter-6 is SpaceX’s sixth dedicated smallsat rideshare mission. There will be 114 payloads on this flight, including CubeSats, microsats, picosats, and orbital transfer vehicles carrying spacecraft to be deployed at a later time.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff.

Clear blue sky and LZ-1. Should be some great visuals.

If I'm reading it correctly, I think there are 2 SpaceX launches tonight under an hour apart.
