Blue Streak Booster Forum

@DrRowanAllport @goonhillyorg @Int_Machines Yes!! 👍🏼

@goonhillyorg @Int_Machines A good opportunity to re-open the Visitor's Centre

We're excited to share that Goonhilly will be acquired by @Int_Machines, subject to regulatory approval. Continuing to operate out of Cornwall, this acquisition will expand Intuitive Machine’s integrated space-to-Earth network. ➡️goonhilly.org/Goonhilly-to-b…

@GregScott_photo Is that you in the black??

Close up with a SpaceX F9 booster... Recently on CCSFS I saw a booster coming by headed for HangarX for refurbishment after its latest flight. These are always a treat to get to see up close. 1/2

If you've ever wondered what it takes to build a brand new launch site, follow along with Saxavords virtual twin of their site as it develops.

The Lamba Ness Launch Site is now open for virtual exploration! Step inside SaxaVord Spaceport from your mobile or desktop and discover everything happening across our site! Working with Dark Star Labs, we’ve built an accessible 'Digital Twin' of SaxaVord. From our geography to our launch infrastructure and rich heritage, you can now explore the UK’s gateway to space from any browser, anywhere in the world. This is a living project. As our site evolves, so will the experience. We’re incredibly excited to finally share more of what’s been developing on site. Explore now -  saxavord.darkstarlabs.io

My write up of the @BIS_spaceflight talk by Dr. Mykhailo Andriievskyi from @Skyrora_Ltd last night. An insight into the work to build engines for Skyrora XL, designed and built in Cumbernauld, with the tank built in Bristol. bluestreak.space/?p=305

Sorting through some stuff and found this from @goonhillyorg , I think probably summer 2006? £4.95!!

Happy New Year from all of us at Goonhilly! 🎆 Wishing you a 2026 filled with success, growth, and happiness!🚀🛰️🛡️

The Moon is calling! 🚀 Inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at @NASAKennedy, some of the retractable platforms have been pulled away from the SLS and Orion spacecraft, marking a major milestone on the road to launch. Artemis II is one step closer to liftoff.

On tonight's @Ri_Science Christmas Lecture, Maggie Aderin-Pocock continues her journey with a search for life in our Solar System, and explores how our understanding of the Solar System has evolved. 🪐 📺 Tune into BBC Four at 7:00pm. 👉 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

In 2025, we kept the space economy booming, advanced science from the Sun to distant stars—and much more. Next year, our @NASAArtemis astronauts will fly around the Moon, preparing for lunar landings and paving the way to Mars. Learn more about our milestones and what's to come!

@SaxaVord_Space @rfa_space It will be amazing to see us launch from the UK, one step away from developing our own boosters again.

SaxaVord Spaceport is ready for launch. Our focus now is helping our launch partners prepare for safe, successful lift-offs. Stay tuned for more updates. @rfa_space #SaxaVordSpaceport #ThePlaceForSpace

@SaxaVord_Space Are you folks planning a visitor centre? I know you're a long way up but I'd make the trip if there's a cafe with some buttered hufsi. 😂

A successful Space-Comm Expo in Glasgow for SaxaVord Spaceport: knowledge shared, partnerships strengthened, and momentum building. With our team contributing to key discussions across launch capability, market growth, and skills development. We’re proud to help shape the UK’s commercial space future.

@astrorahul_ @Nord_Space Currently looking at which is the closest/most convenient international airport for St Lawrence! And whether it's easier to get to than @SaxaVord_Space 🤣

Congratulations to all receiving their A level, T Level and BTEC results today! 🎓 Considering a career in the UK space sector? 🚀 Check out our careers page for information on work experience, apprenticeships, internships and jobs 👉 gov.uk/guidance/space…

Manufacturing for Nova is in full swing — upgraded Zenith complete, Andromeda’s base heat shield wrapped, Stage 2 structural testing commences. Progress everywhere you look from the rocket factory and beyond. 🚀🏭

So much progress in just one photo: lightning protection systems going in, umbilical tower welding underway, fresh steel lean-to rising, launch-mount shoring coming out, plus diverter-frame and surface fabrication all happening, right now at SLC-14.

Congratulations to @Skyrora_Ltd on becoming the first UK rocket company to receive a launch licence from the @UK_CAA! 🚀 With companies like Skyrora, we're positioning the UK as the natural choice for customers seeking access to space from European soil. 🇬🇧

@keithernet @MarcusHouse That'll buff out, then they can reuse it 😉

@MarcusHouse Has anyone said why they did the salvage operation? I’m curious.

What a beast!
