The so-called 'big vent' is now underway at pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as SpaceX prepares to load liquid oxygen on the rocket's upper stage. Liftoff of the EchoStar-25 mission is set for 12:19 a.m. EDT (0419 UTC). Watch live: youtube.com/watch?v=DkoUlU…












NASA's return to the Moon will look different from the plans laid out back in 2019. A low Earth orbit mission for the Orion spacecraft and potentially one or both of the lunar landers is being planned for 2027 along with changes to the SLS rocket. Watch: youtu.be/oVyaDyUPZPg

Just a few more from rollback... 🟧 Need to give a massive shoutout & thanks to the public affairs team at @NASAKennedy for their efforts in organizing media coverage opportunities during SLS' rollback to the VAB yesterday. Between remote cameras in front of High Bay 3 and opening up a greater area for personnel to position themselves when SLS came by, there was an overwhelmingly positive response from those on the ground with what they were able to accomplish. Lots of happy people and great footage all around the press pool - the best kind of days, even under sub optimal circumstances. Can't wait to see Big Orange roll back out again when the time comes before Artemis II!





It’s that time again.
