Version 3, y'all! Version 3!! After rolling to Pad 2 last night, Ship 39 has been stacked atop Booster 19 this morning for the FIRST EVER Starship Version 3 full stack ahead of a presumed wet dress rehearsal (WDR) later today. This has been a long time coming. 📸- @NASASpaceflight

NASA’s #MissionToPsyche – on its way to explore a rare, metal-rich asteroid – is about to get a speed boost from Mars. 🚀🏁 On May 15, spacecraft will harness the Red Planet’s gravitational pull as a slingshot to increase its speed and adjust its trajectory. 1/2

We imaged this rocket body in orbit and you can make out the logo. Can you identify it? Below is what our sensors captured, plus the measurements our analytics pulled from the image. Drop your answer below and we'll share it in the comments. Bonus points if you can name the payload it brought to space.

👀 My goodness that was incredible!! Booster 19 performed a ~14 second static fire test. That looked much better and the deluge system seems to have lasted for the full duration. Great progress!

The Launch Pad@TLPN_Official·
🚨NEW DISCOVERY🚨Astronomers have discovered a thin atmosphere around a tiny Kuiper Belt object once thought too small to have one. (612533) 2002 XV93 revealed its atmosphere during a rare stellar occultation; where a background star’s light faded gradually instead of disappearing instantly. The object is approx. 500km. across (5 times smaller than Pluto) This atmosphere likely can’t last more than ~1,000 years, meaning it was formed recently possibly by 🌋 Cryovolcanic activity or 💥 A recent impact Even more surprising: the James Webb Space Telescope sees no surface gases, deepening the mystery. #Pluto #JWST #KuiperBelt #SpaceNews #Astronomy

Stunning first-sat views from @Starlink launch G10-38 on May 1, deployed from @SpaceX's Falcon rocket. Watch as the Starlink sats cruise over an entire orbit, through sunrise and sunset, and slowly separate from each as they complete their post-launch deployment sequence before beginning orbit raise.  The satellites are stacked like a deck of cards in the rocket, which slowly spins when dispensing to impart a small velocity difference, ensuring deconfliction.   May the @Starlink be with you.
