Following this morning's launch of the @SpaceX Starlink 10-26 mission the Stage 2 "Jellyfish" as seen from @NASASpaceflight KSC Press site cameras Launch Replay: youtube.com/watch?v=5FLW4q…

Always watch the second stage go down range as long as you can. You never know what you might see, like this suprise second stage jelly! Did I have a camera set up? Nope. Did I enjoy breakfast while watching the @NASASpaceflight stream? Yep!

Falcon 9 launches 28 @Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida

🚀 SpaceX Falcon 9 Launches Starlink 10-26 Mission

Shortly before the next flight, I will do a live technical update on Starship, going over progress to date and engineering/production/launch plans for the future.

I was wondering why the SpaceX website was being wonky a little bit earlier. I think I may know why now... the company has changed the layout and design of the website for the first time in several years. spacex.com

Dragon arrives at the hangar at pad 39A in Florida ahead of its sixth flight to the @Space_Station. Falcon 9 is targeted to launch Dragon and @NASA’s Crew-11 to the orbiting laboratory no earlier than Thursday, July 31

After being transported from the Port of Brownsville to Massey's overnight, the remains of B13 has been lifted off of the truck for further processing. @NASASpaceflight nsf.live/starbase

Rest Easy, brother

Booster 13’s salvaged aft end at the Massey Outpost this afternoon waiting to be lifted. @NASASpaceflight

SpaceX's Bob steaming into port with the catch of the day, two flight-proven fairing halves on deck after supporting O3b mPOWER two days ago. Recovering these fairings is a big deal. They are rather expensive rocket items, and reusing them saves money. nsf.live/spacecoast

You ever see the salvaged remains of the world's largest rocket transported down a two lane road by a semi truck in the middle of the night? Yeah, me too a couple times. @NASASpaceflight

Worth noting the a lift is currently working on the chopsticks, so it is unlikely this is of concern to SpaceX, and just routine ops. Difficult to say what specifically is being done, but could be as simple as clearing fluid lines.

Interesting activity at the Starship pad at LC-39A. Fluids appear to be coming from the bottom of the tower/chopsticks. It's unclear if this is routine testing or an unexpected leak. @NASASpaceflight

It would appear SLD30's fog machine is still broken... 3 consecutive launches from Vandy with no fog?

Satellite captures such as this are incredibly expensive and only possible thanks to very kind supporters. If you'd like to help make this become a more frequent thing, please consider supporting my Patreon! patreon.com/c/spacefromspa…

As part of an effort to gain better coverage of multiple launch pads under construction at Cape Canaveral, I've ordered a high resolution satellite image that covers many of the Space Coast launch pads and made it freely available to everyone to browse. Quick thread:

Launch of mPOWER-D for SES today.

This single capture alone covers Starship related work at LC-39A & SLC-37, Relativity's LC-16 being upgraded for Terran R, Stoke Space's LC-14 under construction to support Nova, and even a Falcon 9 on SLC-40. You can browse the full image on @Soar_Earth: soar.earth/maps/136087
