Spacewalk US EVA-94 is underway on the ISS. Astronauts Meir and Williams, in suits 3015 and 3003 and with SAFER packs 15 and 18 depressurized the airlock past 50 mbar at 1246 UTC, opened the hatch at 1251 UTC and put suits on batt power at 1252 UTC

@planet4589 But wasn't NG-23 launched on September 14 and berthed to the ISS 4 days later? It was briefly unberthed to make room for Soyuz MS-28, but it has been at the ISS since September 18, right?
English
The Cygnus NG-23 cargo ship was released into orbit by Canadarm-2 at 1106 UTC Mar 12; it has been at ISS since Dec 1. [I don't have the unberthing time, anyone have it?]

@katlinegrey Did he just pull a "Deke Slayton maneuver" and assign himself to a space mission (since he's acting director of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center)?
English
Wow. Just wow. Old guard is still alive and kicking! According to the GCTC site, Oleg Kononenko, veteran of 5 space flights, will be the commander of #SoyuzMS31 crew: gctc.ru/main.php?id=155. The flight is scheduled for November 2027.

@planet4589 And that's the 11th consecutive Falcon 9 launch, a continuous streak uninterrupted by any other orbital launcher since 2026-031.
English
LAUNCH at 0256 UTC Mar 2 of Starlink Group 10-41 from Canaveral
English
From 2026-031 to 2026-040, all launches were Falcon 9 missions, an incredible 10-launch streak of the same rocket, never before seen in the history of orbital launches.
English
@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace He said he wants the SLS launching every 10 months.
English
@SciGuySpace Wait. Is that what he said?! No way they’ll have another SLS ready by then nor another one (or two) in 2028 🤔
English
So the big question, what rocket is going to launch Orion into LEO for Artemis III?! 👀 certainly they won’t waste an SLS rocket for a LEO mission.
English
@KenKirtland17 10th Vulcan vehicle will launch before 10th New Glenn vehicle (because New Glenn will reuse their 2-3 boosters).
English
Which vehicle will hit 10 “operational” launches first?
Operational meaning a sort of payload. Count NG-1 for this. For Starship it would mean Starlinks, or HLS stuff like refill test, refills, depot etc.

@cosmos4u @planet4589 @kruksandor I wonder if SSAPy and/or Tudat(Py) could be used to plot a more recent orbit decay plot?
English
@planet4589 @kruksandor The most recent HST orbit decay plot I could find is in hubblereentry.com from April 2025 - got a more current one? (And any word about in which interval it might come down ... and how NASA intends to facilitate a safe end of it all?)
English
The coverage of @kruksandor's paper quantifying satellites photobombing Hubble has revealed that a lot of my followers thing Hubble is still in its original 610 km altitude orbit.
It is not.
English
@rookisaacman, are there any updates on the status of the Juno mission, especially considering that in March we have 3I/ATLAS approaching Jupiter?
English
@StephenClark1 What's next, lithium issues (maybe with batteries)? Then should we expect some sort of beryllium problems?
English
A new day, a new molecule, a new problem. arstechnica.com/space/2026/02/…
English
@NASA You have no idea how much I appreciate that the time is also displayed in UTC! Thank you!
English
NASA teams successfully fueled the Artemis II rocket during tonight’s prelaunch test for the lunar mission.
Our Artemis experts will answer questions about the important milestone and next steps during a briefing tomorrow at 11am ET (1600 UTC). go.nasa.gov/4aLGctK
English
@JackKuhr All of the above? It’s like asking me to pick a favorite pizza.
English
If only we could have a mission planned that could bring a few samples to Earth... we could call it Mars Sample Return mission!... If only.

Congrats on the successful first launch of Ariane 6 in its 64 configuration (4 SRB's)!!! Glad to see the nozzles didn't fall off on this one 😅
Arianespace@Arianespace
Mission VA267: Relive the liftoff of mission VA267. Ariane 6, in its Ariane 64 configuration, just lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana, carrying 32 @Amazonleo satellites into Low Earth Orbit. ▶️ Watch the replay of this incredible lift off. This launch marked the first Arianespace mission supporting the deployment of @Amazonleo, Amazon’s Low Earth Orbit satellite constellation whose mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. The mission continues… #LaunchingAmbitions @ArianeGroup @esa @CNES @EuropeSpacePort

@peterrhague It's really unfortunate to see so much hate towards Star Trek. For what it's worth, I enjoyed the episode, and I enjoy the whole Starfleet Academy series more than I anticipated.
English
Crappy new Trek digital reanimating the greatest captain/space messiah/1950s sci fi writer of the franchise, because the actor didn’t want anything to do with them is just really low.

Starfleet Academy did NOT get Avery Brooks back to do the cameo voice-over at the end of the latest episode. Brooks recorded a spoken word jazz album years ago, and they extracted the line and put it in. It gives the fans the illusion he came back to endorse the show, but like everything else in modern Star Trek, it's fake and gay.

@kelvin61942434 @ShuttleAlmanac But that’s just the booster (first stage) of CZ-10A, right?
English
The mobile launch platform and the CZ-10A & Mengzhou test article have been transported to LC-301, targeting February 11

I really don't understand why @BBC is claiming copyright over @NASA footage that was broadcast live and in the public domain: youtube.com/watch?v=FVUNKB…
