🚀 NASA’s Launch Services Program launches into a new era as Jenny Lyons becomes acting program manager, succeeding Albert Sierra, who is retiring after 36 years at NASA. LSP, Earth's Bridge to Space, finds commercial launch services for agency's science and robotic missions.

Wonderful to see Alpha 🚀 return to flight! Look forward to launching NASA's INCUS mission on Alpha one day soon.

You have until Sunday, March 1 at midnight Eastern to order these @NASAKennedy Engineering t-shirts. I love them because it includes all the rockets I've worked missions on it, along with many others I've enjoyed watching and some that are in my future. stores.spaceshirts.com/ksc_engineerin…

There are other very important things happening in the USA, but how come I'm learning this only due to space news? Articles from major outlets are either non-existent or too hard to find. I sought out due to NASA & NOAA, but more than those were funded. whitehouse.gov/briefings-stat…

“Many presidents have pushed at the limits of their powers to achieve some particular goal. “What makes Mr. Trump’s claims to expanded executive authority unprecedented is not just his aggressiveness, but …volume of the ways he is consolidating power.” nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Interesting! Wish I’d been around to see it

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.

🛰The Sentinel-6B satellite is flying on its own after separating from its ride to space. The spacecraft team is monitoring for Acquisition of Signal. Follow @NASAJPL and @NASAEarth for future spacecraft updates! 🚀This completes our launch coverage – thanks for tagging along!

Launch success 🚀👏 Teams have received full acquisition of signal from Sentinel-6B, indicating that we are communicating with the satellite and it is functioning nominally. Congratulations to the Sentinel-6B mission teams! go.nasa.gov/43zL6Hz

Saw the northern lights this week? Report your aurora sightings with @NASA's Aurorasaurus project. Your data helps scientists track auroras in real time and improve space weather forecasts: go.nasa.gov/47KNA8w

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.

🌊Sentinel-6B is designed to measure sea levels within about one inch across ~90% of the world’s ocean. This data will provide crucial information for state and local governments to make informed decisions about protecting coastal infrastructure, real estate, and energy sites!

🟢Sentinel-6B is GO for Launch!🚀 NASA, SpaceX, and international mission teams polled “go” during today's Launch Readiness Review. Liftoff of Sentinel-6B is targeted for 9:21pm PST Nov. 16 (12:21am EST Nov. 17) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA.

🚀 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/escapa…

This new satellite will measure sea levels for almost all of Earth’s ocean 🌊 Sentinel-6B adds to a sea level data record spanning over 30 years—information that helps improve weather forecasts, keep ships safe, and ensure astronauts splash down safely. go.nasa.gov/4860ZqG
