🚀 We have been getting ready for @NASARoman's arrival. We've made a few upgrades to give NASA's newest telescope an ultra clean place to process before launch! It will keep the space telescope clean as technicians fuel it and prepare it for liftoff.

Teams at SpaceX have adjusted the launch time for Transporter-15 to 10:19 a.m. PST (1:19 p.m. EST). The dozens of payloads launching on the rideshare mission include four CubeSats for NASA: R5-S7 (Realizing Rapid, Reduced-cost high-Risk Research project Spacecraft 7); 3UCubed-A; TRYAD (Terrestrial Rays Analysis and Detection) 1 and 2. NASA awarded the launch services for R5-S7 through its VADR contract. 3UCubed-A and TRYAD are launching as part of NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI). NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, manages the VADR contracts and CSLI!

In 2014, @NASA awarded a Commercial Crew Transportation Capability contract to Boeing to fly astronauts to and from the @Space_Station with its Starliner spacecraft. As part of its contract, Boeing was awarded up to six crewed flights to the orbital complex. After a thorough evaluation, NASA and Boeing have mutually agreed to modify the contract. As part of the modification, the definitive order has been adjusted to four missions, with the remaining two available as options. The next Starliner flight, known as Starliner-1, will be used by NASA to deliver necessary cargo to the orbital laboratory and allow in-flight validation of the system upgrades implemented following the Crew Flight Test mission last year.  NASA and Boeing are targeting no earlier than April 2026 to fly the uncrewed Starliner-1 pending completion of rigorous test, certification, and mission readiness activities.

Here's the full photo briefly featured in my recent video post showing @BlackGryph0n against the full solar chromosphere after his jump. Crazy how small he looks despite being nearly 50,000,000x closer! This ended up being my most popular print (vs the closeup) linked in my bio.

🚀 ICYMI: ESCAPADE launched aboard a @BlueOrigin New Glenn rocket yesterday, Thursday, Nov. 13 at 3:55 pm EST from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station! The spacecraft duo will be the first coordinated multi-spacecraft science mission to Mars! The pair are bound for the Red Planet to study the interaction between the solar wind and the Martian atmosphere. 🛰️🛰️ science.nasa.gov/mission/esc…
The photo is an aerial view of a rocket launch in progress. A white rocket is ascending vertically from a coastal launch pad, with a bright orange and white plume of exhaust and flame shooting downward. Thick white clouds of smoke and vapor billow outward, partially obscuring the launch pad and surrounding service towers. The launch site is situated near a shoreline, with dense green forest on one side and the ocean on the other. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting daytime. The scene captures the dramatic moment just after liftoff, with the rocket already several hundred feet above the pad.
