Archimedes full mission duration hot fire. Enjoy.

The effect of Space weather as displayed by SpaceX Dragon Endurance after spending 145 days in space! The ablative shielding on the outside of Dragon naturally degrades and causes no significant damage to the spacecraft. You can notice hues of orange and yellow 🚀

I wonder how much will it costs to make test stand like this for Starship HLS, considering it would need to be like 25 times bigger

woh this looks unreal

While rolling to the launch site, NSF got a view of the engine bay, showing no RVAC stiffeners, likely indicating this will not be a static fire test. Track Starbase Here: figma.com/design/2AvC161… Join Our Discord Here: discord.gg/ZbrSYPzDAq 📸NSF | Starbase Live #Tracking

Manufacturing for Nova is in full swing — upgraded Zenith complete, Andromeda’s base heat shield wrapped, Stage 2 structural testing commences. Progress everywhere you look from the rocket factory and beyond. 🚀🏭

SRB Jettison!

Vulcan takes off the pad. A controlled explosion resulting in over 3 million pounds of thrust. Never gets old! Nicely done Tory Bruno and the ULA team

Velocity. GEM 63XLs do not play around. When they ignite, it's time to go. Talk of Titusville 🌴🚀

Business end of the Vulcan VC4. A pair of Blue Origin BE-4 engines peeking between a pair of Northrop Grumman GEM-63XL solid rocket boosters during the initial moments of USSF-106 for United States Space Force. 📸 - NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

The first grid fin for the next generation Super Heavy booster. The redesigned grid fins are 50% larger and higher strength, moving from four fins to three for vehicle control while enabling the booster to descend at higher angles of attack.

They’ll also be used for vehicle lift and catch, made possible by a new catch point addition and a lower positioning on the booster to align with the tower catch arms. Moving lower reduces the heat they receive from Starship’s engines at hot-staging and places the fin shaft,

New booster catch pin is very similar to the ship catch pin

It appears that SpaceX are testing a new Shielding for the valve assembly on R3! Comparing these two images from NSF McGregor Live today there is a new circular style shielding. 📷: nsf.live/mcgregor

More photos from the ULA’s newest rocket, Vulcan, and the USSF-106 mission! The first photo is very late in the burn of the core stage of the two BE-4 engines, and it changed how it looked from a blue hue to that light orange color.
