Current status of what we've spotted under B15! New full diagram soon!

Starship S35 rolling out to Massey's overnight to join what may be its flight 9 partner B16 for some cryo testing nsf.live/starbase

A sunrise lift to vertical of Falcon 9 B1090-2 and Crew Dragon Endurance arriving to LC 39-A at the Kennedy Space Center overnight ahead of the launch of NASA's Crew 10 mission to the ISS currently scheduled for Mar 12 at 7:48 pm EDT/23:48 UTC nsf.live/spacecoast

Whether or not IM-2 landed safely, that's still up in the air. But for now have an artists interpretation of the landing

LAUNCH! Starship Flight 8 departs from Starbase Pad A!

The Full Stack is Back! After a roller coaster of a day, S34 has been stacked once again on top of B15, hopefully for the final time ahead of flight, with the current launch window opening tomorrow March 6th, at 5:30 PM CST / 23:30 UTC nsf.live/starbase

Starship S34 had a bit of a active day with the restack on top of B15 having alignment issues that resulted in a piece of debris coming off the engine bay section, and S34 coming back down for inspections. @nasaspaceflight.com Starbase Live nsf.live/starbase

Something appeared to fall off Ship 34 during stacking. SpaceX aborted the stacking and are now in a holding pattern. Stay tuned. nsf.live/starbase

Ship 34 almost fully stacked again and appears SpaceX is on track to try again Thursday for Flight 8. nsf.live/starbase

While all eyes are on flight 8 and its vehicles, Starbase work never stops, with Booster 16 undergoing its second Cryo testing day at Massey's, ahead of its future flight. (views thanks to @dwisecinema, and the @nasaspaceflight.com SBL cameras nsf.live/starbase

Starship Booster 16 is getting back to work, undergoing a second cryo test over at the Massey's test site follow along Live on @nasaspaceflight.com Starbase Live nsf.live/starbase

Following Yesterday's scrubbed laucn attempt, Ship 34 was destacked to allow for inspections ahead of another attempt as soon as tomorrow, March 5th, according to SpaceX. nsf.live/starbase

The first of two cargo ships expected at Port Canaveral this weekend has arrived, carrying a single cryogenic tank. The second ship, arriving Sunday, is also set to visit Port of Brownsville next week (h/t CowboyDanPaasch), which is a bit of a clue as to who ordered these... nsf.live/spacecoast

A look at the barge Oceanus, which Rocket Lab has acquired for conversion into a landing platform for the Neutron rocket. Built in 2010 and 400ft long x 105ft wide, the barge is slightly longer than Blue Origin's Jacklyn, both outclassing SpaceX's trio of 300ft long droneships.

Starship Flight 8: Starlink Sim installation into Ship 34 now taking place. nsf.live/starbase

Just moments ago, the Mega Bay 2 door opened to reveal Ship 34 on its transport stand. We expect the next step is for the Starlink Simulators to be loaded ahead of a potential roll out to the launch site this evening. nsf.live/starbase

I'm "retiring" as of today and won't be consistently publishing any spaceflight infographics in the near future. It was a very interesting chapter of my life but it's time to move on and start a new chapter with new things to deal with and to get interested in Yet I may publish something sometime

Meet Flatellite - A scalable, long-life, high-power, stackable satellite that enables secure, low-latency, high-speed connectivity and remote sensing capability. It's a bold, strategic move toward operating our own constellation. More: bit.ly/41AS4LQ

What’s a road trip to the Moon without the perfect roadmap? For Firefly's Blue Ghost mission, Rocket Lab's experienced team and suite of space software helps map it out. Next stop...the Moon! 🌑

We've successfully completed our Critical Design Review for the Space Force's Space Systems Command VICTUS HAZE mission - a project that will see us build a spacecraft for rendezvous proximity operations, then launch it on Electron with just 24 hours’ notice. More here bit.ly/41uq6RP

What's better than 1 rocket launch? 2! What's better than 1 booster in a picture? 2! What's better than 1 streak shot? 2! First, the shuttle walkway leads the way to the successful launch of IM-2 from LC-39A Second, Starlink 12-13 launches from SLC-40 seen from the port

Cryogenic tanks are set to arrive at Port Canaveral from overseas for an unnamed aerospace company as early as Saturday. One of these ships began its journey in India.

As Starbase continues with pre-flight pad preparations ahead of flight 8, teams performed multiple tests of the Launch Pad A Detonation Suppression System (DSS). nsf.live/starbase

Fast Crew Ship Hannah Ray, which supported the previous two Starship flights out in the Gulf of Starbase, is heading to Port Isabel in preparation for Flight 8.

The NEW Raptor vertical south stand fired up for the very first time! Equipped with 2 bays, that brings the total to 6 functional Raptor bays currently and 8 when the new north stand comes online soon. nsf.live/mcgregor

After arriving to the Launch Site earlier, B15 is being lifted onto the Pad A OLM, as starbase prepares for flight 8 nsf.live/starbase

SpaceX review of Flight 7 "The most probable root cause for the loss of ship was identified as a harmonic response several times stronger in flight than had been seen during testing, which led to increased stress on hardware in the propulsion system." spacex.com/updates/

From Mary (@bocachicagal): The sign that indicates that flight termination system installation is being performed is posted on MB2. Ship 34 is having the FTS installed before rollout for Flight 8. 🔥🚀🔥 nsf.live/starbase

The cryo tanks loaded at KSC several days ago have just passed through the locks and are now waiting at Port Canaveral for their onward journey (probably to Starbase...) nsf.live/spacecoast

I was the Commander of the @ISS when Andy, @Astro_Andreas flew his first space mission. He is one of the most competent, trustworthy, and honest people I’ve ever met. This rhetoric is beyond the pale but, sadly, not surprising. He does not deserve this kind of disrespect.

FCC document notes that Starship Flight 9 (after the upcoming launch) has the option of Ship returning to the launch site for catch. Although unconfirmed by SpaceX, Flight 9 has the potential of reflying Booster 14, with Ship 35, and both returning to the launch site. apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/re...

Isar Aerospace has announced the completion of static fires on both stage one and stage two of its new Spectrum rocket. The maiden launch is now pending approval and licensing from the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). Written by Sawyer Rosenstein www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/02/isar...
