A motion processed version of the capture showing them Starship and ship moving with the ocean.

Following a request from my friends at @nasaspaceflight.com, we attempted to capture the splashed down SpaceX Starship in the Indian Ocean using Umbra satellites. We seem to have caught it and its recovery ship. 2026-07-27 03:56 UTC. spacefromspace.com/spaceport-im...

The damaged roof of Blue Origin's 2CAT facility can be seen in an UMBRA SAR satellite image taken on 2026-04-11 02:44:16 UTC. The second picture, from 2026-01-26, shows 2CAT from a different angle and an intact roof more than two months before the incident.

Close up photos taken minutes ago - damage looks more severe than the first incident in August 2024, although the main sliding door looks to have been intentionally left open this time. 📸 Max Evans for NSF

Goal beat! Not only did SpaceX meet their updated goal of 165 Falcon flights this year, they ended the year with a surplus of second stages at the McGregor test site! Lots of analysis and a 2026 prediction in thread ⬇️ Watch live: nsf.live/mcgregor @nasaspaceflight.com

Interesting Raptor explosion at McGregor tonight. Seemed to happen during startup - timing we've never seen before. As always this could be intentional (McGregor's the place they do tests to destruction), or just an unhappy raptor. @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

The OLM put up a bit of a fight tonight with a small fire inside the ring. Thankfully no one seems injured and crews were able to quickly extinguish it. They're already back at work cutting it up to make way for the new design! @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/starbase

SpaceX has had an excellent quarter at McGregor, with a record 48 Falcon 9 second stages tested. How does this bode for their 170 flight goal this year? Short answer, quite well! Details in thread @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

During a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center last March, I was confronted with an environment of fear, uncertainty and discrimination which struck me as a troubling moral issue that also raises serious safety concerns. Read all about it here: www.thespacereview.com/article/5060/1

Five Falcon 9 Stage 2's in five days! Just 3 days, 22 hours, 26 minutes, and 31 seconds from the first to fifth test, highlighting what the McGregor teams are capable of. Typically they test one every two days. Watch live: nsf.live/mcgregor @nasaspaceflight.com

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:

Can SpaceX reach 170 Falcon flights? McGregor tests every 2nd stage, so we can get a look at whether the production/test rate is on track to meet their goal. The short answer is they're on a solid trajectory - more analysis in thread! @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

Unless these decisions are reversed, this will be remembered as a disastrous week for @NASA. First, I am not optimistic that whomever this administration nominates next for NASA Administrator will be nearly as qualified or enthusiastic about the agency’s mission as Jared. 1/

New record! McGregor's Raptor Horizontal stand has beaten its record of 385 seconds with a test today lasting 460 seconds! This isn't a McGregor test record (that's held by Tripod's 897 second test) but it's a dominant second place. @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

25% through the year lets take a look at how McGregor testing is going for Falcon 9's goal of 170 launches! Starting with MVac, the data is looking great. This is their surplus compared to 170 tests per year. Blue is 2025, red is 2024 @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

Vulcan has been certified for National Security Launch! Thankyou USSF for your trust. We are proud to serve the NSS mission. And, I am very proud of our team at ULA and all of our partners.

Workers are tearing down the Starbase High Bay. A new LTM 11200 crane arises to bring down larger pieces as SpaceX makes way for the new, even larger, Gigabay, and two massive prefabricated power buildings are delivered on huge transporters. youtu.be/iEHs9Sgf_2M

A Raptor 2 giving us some fireworks today, but don't fret! This looks like it could be an intentional test to destruction, along with a few earlier in the year. Perhaps related to changes following Flights 7 and 8? nsf.live/mcgregor @nasaspaceflight.com

Falcon 9 fleet leader B1067 has returned after it's record breaking 26th flight. Pretty soon we'll be celebrating 30! @nasaspaceflight.com live views of port and goings on at Cape: nsf.live/spacecoast

Peekaboo, I see you Falcon

Have you ever wondered what comes next when the ISS is retired? We have! NSF's Das was invited to have a look at VAST and their process of building new space stations tour their factory, see some hardware, and meet the folks who are creating the world’s first commercial station youtu.be/us_V_e0-NVs

With its flight 8 partner completing a Static Fire Test, Starship S34 left the warmth of the Mega Bay, and headed into the foggy night to roll back to Masseys for its Static Fire Test, as pre-flight preparations continue. nsf.live/starbase

Three days after arriving the launch site for some engine testing, and hours after a successful test. Starship B15 was removed from the Pad A Orbital Launch Mount. nsf.live/starbase

The Flight 8 vehicles (B15 and S34) are well into their respective testing campaigns, the Pad B chopstick carriage reeving process is nearly complete, and we’ve spotted hardware being prepared for Starship’s first Starlink mission! To watch the full Starbase Update: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxIa...

Aircraft carriers are HUGE! Here's an approximate visualization of a Starship stack on ex-John F. Kennedy as it entered the Port of Brownsville for scrapping. ~408ft vs ~1,106ft Apologies (or you're welcome) for the Ship 26 style stack @nasaspaceflight.com

Telemetry time! Compared to Flight 5, Starship's 7th flight took a lower and slower approach likely thanks to the larger v2 Ship. At MECO, B14 was traveling about 850km/h slower than B12. The rest of the flight was also slower, including more consistent acceleration on ascent.

A great interview with Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp: www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3aK... Some notes: - Working on ramping manufacturing - Aiming to produce 48 second stages a year in a couple of years - At least 3-4 boosters a year - Has aimed to bring more decisiveness to the company
