Apogee
@apogeespace
Apogee is here to discuss the diverse technology, design, strategy, and politics that shape our journey beyond our nest, the Earth. Channel by @kenkirtland17



Sadly most likely lost everything on my computer all apogee stuff / infographics, rocket artwork / posters etc. :/




T-12 hours until the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket; targeting ~8:00 a.m. CT for liftoff → spacex.com/launches

@TGMetsFan98 Hubble is too weird an inclusion to not mean anything. We know the third flight of Polaris is meant to be the first Crewed Starship Mission. A couple guesses: Hubble Servicing Mission or Hubble Return to Earth. Servicing is more likely imo. (Make use of those EVA suits too)



To attempt to reduce costs during SEI, several heavy rocket configurations were studied using clusters of existing stages. This vehicle featured a first stage made from ten evolved Shuttle SRBs, a second stage built around 3 ET-sized tanks and 6 SSMEs, and a new third stage
