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

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

.@RocketLab has officially delayed Neutron's debut to 2027, after defects arose during manufacturing. It turns out making a really complicated vehicle out of a really complicated material is... really complicated. Does carbon fiber just suck for rockets? →

I realise this could be confusing, so to simplify: SpaceXSI, formerly SpaceXAI, formerly xAI, is a subsidiary of SpaceX, short for Space Exploration Technologies Corp., which focusses on the advancement of Super Intelligence, formerly known as Artificial Intelligence. It used to be owned by xAI Holdings Corp., the owner of X Corp., which owns X, formerly Twitter, but earlier this year, xAI Holdings Corp. was purchased by Space Exploration Technologies Corp., and its subsidiary, xAI, was re-branded to SpaceXAI, and then re-branded to SpaceXSI. Hopefully that makes sense!

Following an aborted lift the other night, the first module was re-stacked at Launch Complex-36A this morning. New Glenn return-to-flight is still targeted for this year, according to Dave Limp! 📽️ Space Coast Live/@NASASpaceflight

.@SpaceX's Starship Transport Barge, Marmac 31 You'll Thank Me Later, has departed Port Canaveral for the Port of Brownsville. This could be to practice operations with Ship 40, which is due to arrive in Brownsville four days after Marmac 31. 📽️ Space Coast Live/@NASASpaceflight

BREAKING: @NASAAdmin confirms @Astro_Woody will command Starliner-2 - scheduled to be the first operational crewed flight of the vehicle. Scheduled for 2028, this will follow the uncrewed Starliner-1 flight, currently NET December 2026. 📷 @NASA

FLYPAST: @NASAAdmin's Northrop F-5s took the skies over the Kennedy Space Center, to celebrate the upcoming launch of @NASARoman! These aircraft are becoming a regular sight - it's always great fun to track them on @NASASpaceflight Space Coast Live

If you thought Starbase, Texas was the epicenter of the future of space exploration, well do I have news for you! Starbase, Louisiana is going to take things to a level so great I can't find a suitable adjective →

The Difference A Week Makes I photographed the Moon in the week leading up to the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse, with Totality captured in León, Spain. Available now as a print - link below.

According to Elon Musk, in a year from now, Starship will be launching once per day. This will be a 63x increase in v3 cadence compared to the turnaround from Flight 12 to Flight 13. 📷 @SpaceX

We've got updates from the CEO, we've got @NASASpaceflight flyover pics, Visible & Radar satellite imagery; and I've tried to piece it all together as @BlueOrigin begins the repair work at Launch Complex-36 →

That 270° roll at the end is super sketchy. Ship needs more work before it comes in for a tower catch. That being said - the fact that a Ship got this far on the debut flight of this version is spectacular.
