@neelkunjur @jeff_foust Awesome work to you and your team!!! This is great news

I'm excited to announce we have achieved our Tier 1 mission success criteria and have begun gathering a tremendous amount of data on how this brand new spacecraft performs. On March 30th, 13:17:08Z, the Gravitas spacecraft separated from the SpaceX Transporter-16 stack to begin its mission as one of the highest power free-flying satellites ever launched. Immediately after separation, the spacecraft autonomously: - Executed detumbling maneuvers - Established two-way communications with the ground (on our very first ground station pass) - Deployed its 20kW solar arrays - Slewed to a safe and stable attitude to await further ground commands These actions alone are a testament to the incredible work of our in-house engineering, software, and GNC teams to build a robust spacecraft. Since then, our operations team completed all initial system activations and checkouts, confirming the vehicle is in a power positive and thermally stable state with no major anomalies observed at this time. We completed this phase of the mission ahead of schedule. Next up we will be powering up and downlinking data for all payloads aboard the Gravitas spacecraft in support of our customers and partners while continuing to put the spacecraft through its paces. As we noted ahead of launch: The goal of this mission is to experiment and push our systems to the limit to inform future missions. I look forward to sharing more on our successes and challenges as the mission proceeds. Video of our satellite below; link to full T-16 webcast: x.com/SpaceX/status/…

@SciGuySpace @_MaxQ_ Agree!

I’ve been waiting literally decades for NASA to articulate a plan for a Moon base. Now Carlos Garcia-Galan is doing a masterful job of precisely this. Dozens of landings. Drones. RTGs. Rovers. Habitats. Excavators. This is incredible stuff.

@johnkrausphotos @SpaceDavenport Wow, that one is incredible!

A space jellyfish was seen far and wide across the U.S. east coast this morning as a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida at 5:52am ET and climbed into the rising sun 🚀🪼❤️ Check out the new tool to forecast these - started off with a great one! jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.com

Good managers also do this.

The Nasdaq Tower lights up today for @NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 Mission—the latest Commercial Crew rotation to the International Space Station (@Space_Station) to advance research and technology for future Moon and Mars missions.

I use it for travel. I use it at home. I'm writing this through my Starlink right now :)

@AustinDeSisto Such a great patch design

We all work together for space safety

@Gedmark Congrats!!

Very excited to announce that Astranis is building a new satellite for Oman. We've signed a 9-figure contract with MB Group —the largest oil and gas conglomerate in Oman— to bring Oman its first dedicated communications satellite. This partnership was announced today in Oman with the leadership of MB Group and senior government officials from the Oman Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology. The deal is part of an overall $200 million investment by MB Group in sovereign connectivity, advancing the Vision 2040 program by the Oman government. This satellite will go up on our Block 3 launch later this year, going from contract to operations in months, not years. Sovereign connectivity is no longer optional. Countries need private, secure networks to know their data is secure and in the right hands. Astranis builds dedicated satellites that make this possible, giving our customer full control over payload configuration, coverage, and network operations. We are the only company that gives our customers a standalone, dedicated network that spans their geography of choice and delivers enterprise-grade security, customizability, and operational visibility of the network and data traffic. This type of infrastructure is impossible to replicate with shared networks or terrestrial links alone. And that's why countries like Oman and Taiwan are choosing Astranis. We built Astranis on the belief that access to secure, reliable communications infrastructure is foundational to growth. It's an honor to partner with MB Group and Oman, and we look forward to supporting the people of Oman and their digital future for many years to come.

@Astro_Kimiya You all looked beautiful in the plasma coming back! And fast! Welcome home

皆さん、こんばんは！ 無事に地球へ戻ってきました！ クルードラゴンの窓から見た満天の星空や大気圏突入時のプラズマの美しさを撮影できなかったのが残念です。 地球の重力も懐かしい感じでいいですね。 今後のリハビリ、頑張ります！

@rebeccaperrotto 💔 I’m so so sorry, there are no words. Liv is such an inspiration and she will always be remembered. ❤️

With the heaviest heart, I have to share that our beautiful Liv passed away peacefully today, cradled in my arms, surrounded by all of us holding her so close and pouring love over her until she quietly slipped into forever sleep. Our hearts are completely broken, yet we know her short, precious life has left the deepest, most beautiful mark on us forever. ❤️💔

What a year! This year, Falcon 9 launched hundreds of spacecraft for our commercial, government, and international customers, 16 astronauts to orbit, critical science and supplies to the @Space_Station, multiple lunar landers, and more! We also made significant progress in development of Starship propellant transfer and the HLS crewed lunar lander, including docking hardware builds, avionics testbeds, tests for crewed systems, lunar landing navigation, and more. Looking forward to even more exciting missions in the year ahead!

@KaranKunjur @K2SpaceCo @Nasdaq You guys rock!!

Once in a while, it is important to take a step back and appreciate how ridiculous life sometimes is. Seeing K2 show up in Times Square is one of those moments. A big thanks to @Nasdaq and everyone who else who supported us @K2SpaceCo over the last week - the feedback has been incredible. Now, back to work.

@elonmusk It totally is. Just need to dub the music

It’s like the opening to Spaceballs

@PhotonEmpress Best of luck and keep kicking ass!!!

I am officially no longer employed at SpaceX. Has been an amazing run. Incredible memories. To all of my peeps still at X, I look forward to watching you build an amazing tomorrow. As Astra!

@AstroPeggy Peggy - I played this for my my kids and husband this morning and had them try to guess. They were dying laughing and asked to watch this video over and over again!!

You can move large items in space with a fair amount of ease. This cargo bag was particularly big.. wait until you see what was inside!

@j_styer So good!

Starbase, TX, USA

The future is going to be fun!

@astro_Pettit Earth is incredible

Green auroras stretching as far as the eye can see, almost mistakable for another planet rather than the blue Earth we call home.

@EmiratesGBRSGP Nice work!!!! Congrats!
