Probably useless for most but I slapped this together for myself, so if you want an easy way to follow the 24h Nürburgring... Maybe this helps x37b.nl/24hrNBR/ (and yes the onboard is of a "certain" car 😇) #24hrNBR

@COMSPOC_OPS Interesting indeed...

👀USA 325 keeps an eye on COSMOS 2589 as it settles into GEO COSMOS 2589 🇷🇺 (launched last June) spent the past few weeks circularizing its orbit before parking at ~98°E. USA 325 🇺🇸 (GSSAP-6) was watching the whole time. Things got interesting around April 19th when COSMOS 2589 actually drifted past USA 325 mid-maneuver. USA 325 repositioned, and by late April both were sitting at the same longitude. From there, observation passes came twice a day due to their different inclinations. Closest was ~13 km on 1 May, with sun angles lining up nicely for a good look. 3D visualization attached — you can really see how COSMOS 2589 tightened its orbit while USA 325 adjusted to stay in position. This is what GSSAP does: when something new shows up in GEO, they're there to take a look.

@Aviation_Intel what could have been...

Everything you need to know. Written a decade ago: twz.com/3889/the-alarm…

UCLASS was shitcanned a decade ago. Criminal.

Good old 64467 - Kosmos 2589 having "fun" (and yes, me having fun with my new satinfo toy)

@Koroshitelol Thanks for providing this, just to add, this image was/is hanging inside MIK 112 at baikonur (image I took inside MIK 112 in 2008)

This time, I am publishing in full the album authored by TsKBEM in 1969, dedicated to the mock-up article N1-L3 №1M1, built for the comprehensive development of the rocket-space system. 1/16

Soooo Mr @torybruno was that "oopsie" or should I say, proper testing, you describe in your new podcast extra, a Trident skytop test ? or am I not allowed to guess any more ? 😇 youtube.com/watch?v=PRPCiN…

🛰️Russian satellites multi-object proximity event in LEO Radar tracking data via @LeoLabs_Space, processed through COMSPOC SSA Suite. This week we observed a complex proximity event involving Russian satellites: COSMOS 2581, 2582, 2583, and Object F (a subsatellite released by 2583). The highlight: COSMOS 2581 and 2583 achieved a closest approach of ~3 meters on 28 April at UTC, with near-zero relative velocity. This wasn't a coincidental pass — COSMOS 2583 performed several fine maneuvers to maintain this tight configuration. Meanwhile, COSMOS 2582 trailed the formation at sub-100 km range, while Object F passed within 15 km of 2582 and within 10 km of 2581 — neither maneuvered. For context: in late 2025 to now, we tracked these same COSMOS satellites performing 3-object RPO. These satellites launched 5 February 2025. Whatever Russia is testing, it's sophisticated. @SpaceNews_Inc @SpaceflightNow @BreakingDefense @joroulette @shell_jim @planet4589 #RPO #SSA #Russia #Space

The core stage coming out... #ArtemisIII

Meanwhile NASA has a live-stream up of the Artemis III core stage off-loading at KSC youtube.com/watch?v=oWe8kv… #ArtemisIII

@EU_SST @defis_eu @EU_HaDEA @CNES @aee_gob it would be good to add another one: publicly available European version of space-track.org We don't need a single-point failure when it comes to publicly available orbital tracking data, nor reliance non European data sources, when we already have our own.

#EUSST provides three SST services: Collision Avoidance, Re-entry Analysis and Fragmentation Analysis. The Collision Avoidance service provides risk assessments of potential collisions between space objects and recommendations on how to mitigate the risk: eusst.eu/services

@SARGalileo NATO logistics exercise Aurora 26, probably, but what do I know...

What is going on?

@SpcPlcyOnline using a logo element from a cancelled program....

U.S. Space Command will livestream Wednesday's ribbon-cutting ceremony at Redstone Arsenal to mark USSPACECOM taking ownership of its first operational facility there. It's moving from Colorado Springs to Huntsville per President Trump's direction last yr. spacepolicyonline.com/news/trump-mov…

@NASAAdmin @US_SpaceCom @TeamRedstone you know this program was stopped/cancelled right ?

@US_SpaceCom @TeamRedstone 🇺🇸

#USSPACECOM will host an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at Redstone Arsenal (@TeamRedstone) on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, to acknowledge receipt of our first operational facility. For more information, or to register to attend as media, please visit: tinyurl.com/4t97ppts

Phantom Express (pretty much dead) on the left, X-37B on the right, guess which would make a better logo...

Uhhh, I thought Phantom Express (XS-1 or XSP) was pretty much dead ? or at least Boeing left the DARPA program in 2020 ? or did the AI image generator prompt include "space plane" and this is what it added ? (instead of ....I dunno, an X-37B ? which actually flies...)

@CORONAGAMBIT maybe...

@DutchSpace Vandenberg is less green, more brown.

I just did a double take, this isn't Building 1610 at Vandenberg... (its the PHSF at KSC)
