Earlier today, the newest Falcon 9 booster (B1109) departed SpaceX's McGregor test campus destined for either California or Florida. With the cadence of launches scaling back, and future operations transitioning to Starship, could this be one of the last new boosters we see? (Probably not, but stick with us to find out for sure!) @NASASpaceflight |

Rexy on all its glory 😍 It has been months since I named this beautiful red tailed hawk and finally got the view I wanted. Enjoy one of the best views of a bird I have ever seen, as captured by one of our cameras at McGregor Live 24/7. Thanks for this incredible privilege of seeing you, Rexy ❤️ - @NASASpaceflight

3.7 miles: the distance from the Outpost to the launch mount. Rocket Ranch guests watch launches from the Outpost, reached by shuttle. Look for the DON'T PANIC container. Tag who you're bringing to Flight 15. #Starship# #SpaceX# #Starbase# #BocaChica# #LaunchViewing#

A quick size comparison between the @SpaceX expansion at the Kennedy Space Center, and what currently exists at Starbase, Texas. Images are the same scale. 🗺️ @GoogleMaps

Earlier this year, @Space_Station's Canadarm robotic arm underwent some repairs. More recently, the mobile platform it sits on suffered communications problems. Upcoming Spacewalks 100 and 101 are reliant on these, so I asked @NASA if they were monitoring any concerns: Canadarm2 is operating nominally, and the agency is not tracking any issues, according to Gaurang Patel, Operations Integration Manager, Low Earth Orbit Program. The moving platform, known as the Mobile Transporter, had some transaction errors on communications Channel A. Because of this, Channel B has been made the prime communications channel for these upcoming EVAs. The team continues to conduct checkouts on Channel A, and when redundancy is required, it continues to show an ability that it can be utilized. 📷 @NASA

If you're keeping score at home, yesterday's Prod > Pad delay was cancelled. That delay was thought to be for B22, then started to look like it was for S43. But a ship CRYO stand is now in the ring yard. So is S43 going to Massey's? | @NASASpaceflight

Another epic sunrise at Starbase. "Just add vehicles" Could be Ship 43 (Flight 16) first, for potential chopstick tests, then Booster 22 (Flight 15), and finally Ship 42, joining forces for a November launch.

It might not have been as vibrant as last week's, but the jellyfish were out again today! SpaceX launching a Falcon 9 on the Bandwagon 5 mission, a rare (these days) southeastern launch. Being southeast of the launch made for a great side-on view right around sunrise. Learn more about what launched from @NASASpaceflight

Earlier this month, NASA's Kennedy Space Center posted the Draft PEA for SpaceX's expansion of its Roberts Road campus for Starship. This would expand the site from 167 acres to nearly 400 acres, more than doubling the existing footprint at the site.
