Atlas V fueling is underway with cryogenic propellants for today's Amazon Leo 6 launch. Atlas and Centaur propulsion console operators here at ULA's Launch Control Center are performing the steps to command the pad systems to begin flowing 66,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen in the rocket over the next 90 minutes. Weather forecast is 80% favorable to launch at 8:52 p.m. EDT (0052 UTC). bit.ly/av_leo6 // @AmazonLeo

#OTD 1972, Apollo 16 was on the Moon! Check out the detail in this photo of the Descartes Highlands, taken by John Young from his window. Shown remastered from the 50-year-old original film here, if Artemis IV captures anything close to this then I'll be very, very pleased.

The Axiom Station leverages Thales Alenia Space's expertise in building large pressurized space structures (they also built major parts of the current space station) but Axiom will handle the US based final integration and outfitting. Mockups like this one of HAB-1 are essential to help validate the interior setup and design while providing the flexibility to tweak and improve the layout for maximum efficiency.

Morning update...Pad lock-down has just been completed, with the blast doors and stairwell door shut, locked and checked. 2 tankers remain at the cryo offload stations, but I think all water tankers have departed. @LabPadre

At Massey's, Ship 39's aft flaps have been stowed and, reportedly, SPMTs have been moved beneath her. @LabPadre

Hearing reports that Massey's is closed for testing, so fingers crossed things go well for Ship 39 this afternoon! @LabPadre

Turning lunar regolith into useful resources. This is the mission behind blue alchemist.
Blue Origin@blueorigin

Melt. Extract. Fuel. Repeat. 🚀 To build an affordable, sustainable presence on the Moon, we must learn to live off the land. Air Pioneer is a scalable, modular system that creates purified oxygen to reduce dependency on supplies from Earth. Using Moon-extracted oxygen for propellant, fuel cells, and breathing reduces our lunar landers’ load by many metric tons of mass. Launching less mass from Earth lowers the cost of our Moon base, fueling a future cislunar economy. 🌕

Anyone else want to sneak in here to see how far along the crewed lunar lander is for the Artemis program? 😉

Very frustrating to see people, often politically motivated and grossly uniformed on spaceflight, use this beautiful moment in Artemis II to shit on SpaceX and commercial spaceflight as a whole.

If Artemis III sticks in Earth orbit, what should be done with the ICPS? Seems like it needs some kind of deep space purpose.
