POV: You’re coming home after a journey around the Moon. 🌕 Before reentering Earth’s atmosphere at the end of Artemis II, the Orion spacecraft’s crew module — carrying the astronauts — separated from the service module that provided propulsion and power throughout the mission.

I made this timelapse of Artemis 2's lunar flyby using some of the 12,000 photos that @NASA recently released ... I really hope they release the raw files soon as well so I can balance the exposures better between frames

Got something weighing you down? Shake it off (like Curiosity)! The Martian explorer unintentionally picked up a rock while drilling a recent sample, but the team was able to dislodge it by having the rover move its robotic arm and vibrate the drill until the rock fell off.

Of the thousands of new Artemis II images released the ones I like looking at most are the ones showing that they're taken from a spacecraft with people on it flying around the moon.

Timing is everything. Check out these images, taken today, of Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. At 07:29 local time, Gen-3 captured an extreme off-nadir twilight shot of a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket on the pad before again catching the vehicle in flight at 10:13, 38 seconds after launch, as it was traveling more than 400 miles per hour. With time-diverse imaging capabilities and flexible imaging modes, Gen-3 sees relevant activity at all hours of the day.

@TechSpatiales C'était déjà arrivé par le passé ce genre de chose ? Les modules de l'ISS avait aussi des problèmes ?

Suite de l'affaire : - Northrop et l'ESA confirment que les modules construits par TAS-I sont bien corrodés - Axiom en rajoute une couche en disant que leur module aussi est corrodé - Mais ils semblent tous dire que c'est gérable/réparable - TAS s'exprimera la semaine prochaine.

@conspiracyslyr Seeing the descent module left behind on the surface like that is surreal!

Apollo 16 Orion lifted off from the Moon today in 1972 The TV camera is mounted on the LRV and received commands from Ed Fendell in Houston. The 16mm camera was inside the LM Ascent Stage.

@alexboge Before Falcon 9 those images where so rare, now we get new ones almost every week, anyone can just go there and see a launch. We're living in the best era for this stuff

Awesome shot of a rocket launch from Florida 4 years ago. It just looks so cool. (We all know what’s coming in comments. Get some 🍿 and watch the 🤡 follow their programming, and the script)

NASA uploading a SR-71 picture, we need more of this

Starting to think SLS looks much better SRB + orange core is peak

@konstructivizm I don't know if it's AI or what but it's definitely not something from Artemis II

@SpaceX Starship landing on falcon 9 droneship would look so goofy

After 156 successful Falcon 9 landings, Just Read the Instructions will be fully dedicated to support Starship operations going forward

Falcon 9 lands on Just Read the Instructions, which is the last planned Falcon mission for this droneship

@SpaceX Last?? WHAT??

Random old image of Ariane 5 fairing testing just added to the NASA media library for some reason, neat

@blueorigin Should have used metric units, imperial is bad luck

NG-3 Update: We have confirmed payload separation. AST SpaceMobile has confirmed the satellite has powered on. The payload was placed into an off-nominal orbit. We are currently assessing and will update when we have more detailed information.

Casually cruising at mach 5

Decade+ old game and almost decade old computer, just how??? KSP really is the best game ever made!!

Back to KSP after a while and what happened to that game?? HOW DOES IT LOOK SO GOOD????

This might be the most batshit insane launch tracking I have ever seen in my life. LOOK AT THE SHOCKWAVES IN THE THIRD IMAGE!!!
