Do you come from a land Down Under? Otter Pup 2’s docking partner does!
We are excited to officially announce our partnership with @GilmourSpace, one of Australia's leading space companies, whose ElaraSat MMS-1 satellite will serve as the docking partner for Otter Pup 2.
Since launch, we have successfully commissioned Otter Pup 2, maneuvered the spacecraft, maintained communications, and completed a full series of test campaigns and long-distance rendezvous operations in orbit. Now, Otter Pup 2 is healthy, in position near Gilmour's satellite, and ready to enter the final phases of its mission.
Over the coming months, we will attempt to dock with ElaraSat. Follow along as we work to make history together!

@Space_Horton @booster_10 As a fellow Queenslander I 1000% support this

@zaid_dillon @booster_10 On the other hand, an offshore platform at the Sunshine Coast in QLD would be so much better because I live here and want to be able to easily watch the flights coming and going :)

I think I've asked this before but where do you think the first international Starship launch pad will be?

It’s no secret that we intend to launch Starship a lot, targeting thousands of flights per year. That cadence will require the ability to launch from many different locations, so we are constantly exploring to find viable sites to expand Starship operations in the future, both domestically and internationally

@Colin_Rich_ You and your team killed it. The number of beautiful frames in your cinematography was insane, can’t wait to see what’s next.

If you want to see what I’ve been working on for many many months, take 24 minutes to watch the first episode of the SpaceX documentary.

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

@_MaxQ_ I thought my Milky Way photo was good but this is outta control, next level!

So stoked to see this image being released! Easily a top 10’er so far in my career.
Go Spectrum!

Now targeting NET 23 March for launch of Mission ‘Onward and Upward’ due to unfavorable weather conditions in the launch area. Launch date remains subject to weather, safety and range infrastructure. Follow the launch live: youtube.com/live/MsbZj8Pxm…

@Pishtgir @flightradar24 @hunza21777 I’m an aircraft technician. Google ETOPS - it’s one of the regulations/safety framework that aircraft must have for flying over oceans.

Hello @flightradar24
Here are two screenshots taken on 10th January 2026 @ around 6:30pm GMT
Both A380s of Emirates seems to have covered same distance (as shown on map) but Sydney - Dallas took 15hrs while Madrid - Dubai just 4:33
How and why 🤔

2025 was a big year—securing approvals for Australia’s 1st sovereign orbital launch, deploying our 100kg ElaraSat🛰️, expanding manufacturing & gathering key data from #Testflight1 at Bowen Orbital Spaceport.
Here’s a look behind-the-scenes, as told by our 🌟team.
We’ll be back!
