SpaceX launched 24 more Starlink satellites into orbit at 8:21 a.m. Thursday morning from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX said in a statement, "On Thursday, November 14 at 8:21 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 24 Starlink satellites, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This was the 18th flight for the Sierra Space and Oak Ridge Lab develop advanced thermal protection for spacecraft

Sierra Space has announced a significant advancement in thermal protection technology through its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). This development, featuring spacecraft tiles that can endure the intense heat of atmospheric re-entry for numerous missions, aims to support the increasing pace of commercial space travel. The new Thermal Protec Impulse Space plans trio of Falcon 9 launches with SpaceX

Impulse Space has entered into an agreement with SpaceX to conduct three launches using Falcon 9 rockets, aimed at advancing the deployment of its Helios and Mira spacecraft.
The first mission, set for mid-2026, will mark the debut of the Helios vehicle. Helios will be loaded with up to 14 tons of liquid methane and liquid oxygen at SpaceX's Florida facilities before integration with Falco NASA, Peru plan collaborative sounding rocket study

NASA and Peru's National Commission for Aerospace Research and Development (CONIDA) have taken steps toward initiating a possible long-term scientific rocket campaign in Peru.
The two organizations formalized their collaboration with a non-binding memorandum of understanding signed on Thursday. This agreement encompasses safety training, a joint feasibility assessment for the proposed camp Trump's approach to space policy could throw up some surprises, especially with Elon Musk on board

What can be expected of a second Trump administration on space policy? In short, a mixture of continuity and change. There will be much continuity across military, civil and industrial space policy as these rarely diverge between political parties. Changes usually involve minor or incremental bureaucratic shifts.
Nevertheless, Trump's swooning speech embracing Elon Musk, along with the Spa Telescope for NASA's Roman mission complete, delivered to Goddard

High-flying Proba-3 will survey Earth’s radiation belts
Write a comment
The Proba-3 mission is set to demonstrate technologies needed for highly precise satellite formation flying, while also mapping the radiation content of the space through which it moves. The mission’s 3D Energetic Electron Spectrometer will measure electron fluxes as it passes through Earth’s radiation belts.
