Four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission launched at 7:03 p.m. EDT Friday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a science expedition aboard the International Space Station.
NASA’s EZIE (Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer) mission is poised to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 17-minute launch window opens at 2:39 a.m. EDT on March 15 (11:39 p.m. PDT on March 14). Follow live launch coverage from SpaceX starting about 15 minutes prior to liftoff, …
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has separated from the Falcon 9’s second stage and is flying on its own. The spacecraft is traveling at approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,200 kilometers per hour). In less than a minute, the Dragon nosecone open sequence will begin.
The first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has completed its descent and landed at the company’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has reached Max-Q, the moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket. The first and second stages have separated. Next, the rocket’s first stage booster is scheduled to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission lifted off at 7:03 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander, and Nichole Ayers, pilot, along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, are experiencing 2 g while SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 […]
Fuel loading is complete on the Falcon 9 rocket’s second stage. Everything remains on target for the 7:03 p.m. EDT scheduled launch of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In just a few moments, a rapid series of events will take place when the SpaceX Falcon 9 begins engine […]
Following a successful landing on March 2, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 has been operating on the lunar surface for nearly two weeks. As part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) initiative, Firefly’s Blue Ghost lunar lander delivered 10 NASA science and technology instruments to the Mare Crisium basin on the near […]
The crew access arm retracted, and momentarily the Dragon spacecraft’s launch escape system will be armed. This will allow the Crew-10 crew members to escape safely in the unlikely event of an anomaly from the moment the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off until the time they reach orbit. Propellant loading is expected to begin […]
NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander, and Nichole Ayers, pilot, along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, have received the “go” for tonight’s launch to the International Space Station. Liftoff is less than an hour away. The launch team just verified controllers can soon begin loading […]
