Following a request from my friends at @nasaspaceflight.com, we attempted to capture the splashed down SpaceX Starship in the Indian Ocean using Umbra satellites. We seem to have caught it and its recovery ship. 2026-07-27 03:56 UTC. spacefromspace.com/spaceport-im...

The damaged roof of Blue Origin's 2CAT facility can be seen in an UMBRA SAR satellite image taken on 2026-04-11 02:44:16 UTC. The second picture, from 2026-01-26, shows 2CAT from a different angle and an intact roof more than two months before the incident.

Goal beat! Not only did SpaceX meet their updated goal of 165 Falcon flights this year, they ended the year with a surplus of second stages at the McGregor test site! Lots of analysis and a 2026 prediction in thread ⬇️ Watch live: nsf.live/mcgregor @nasaspaceflight.com

Interesting Raptor explosion at McGregor tonight. Seemed to happen during startup - timing we've never seen before. As always this could be intentional (McGregor's the place they do tests to destruction), or just an unhappy raptor. @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

SpaceX has had an excellent quarter at McGregor, with a record 48 Falcon 9 second stages tested. How does this bode for their 170 flight goal this year? Short answer, quite well! Details in thread @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

During a visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center last March, I was confronted with an environment of fear, uncertainty and discrimination which struck me as a troubling moral issue that also raises serious safety concerns. Read all about it here: www.thespacereview.com/article/5060/1

Five Falcon 9 Stage 2's in five days! Just 3 days, 22 hours, 26 minutes, and 31 seconds from the first to fifth test, highlighting what the McGregor teams are capable of. Typically they test one every two days. Watch live: nsf.live/mcgregor @nasaspaceflight.com

As part of an effort to gain better coverage of multiple launch pads under construction at Cape Canaveral, I've ordered a high resolution satellite image that covers many of the Space Coast launch pads and made it freely available to everyone to browse. Quick thread:

Can SpaceX reach 170 Falcon flights? McGregor tests every 2nd stage, so we can get a look at whether the production/test rate is on track to meet their goal. The short answer is they're on a solid trajectory - more analysis in thread! @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

New record! McGregor's Raptor Horizontal stand has beaten its record of 385 seconds with a test today lasting 460 seconds! This isn't a McGregor test record (that's held by Tripod's 897 second test) but it's a dominant second place. @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

25% through the year lets take a look at how McGregor testing is going for Falcon 9's goal of 170 launches! Starting with MVac, the data is looking great. This is their surplus compared to 170 tests per year. Blue is 2025, red is 2024 @nasaspaceflight.com nsf.live/mcgregor

Aircraft carriers are HUGE! Here's an approximate visualization of a Starship stack on ex-John F. Kennedy as it entered the Port of Brownsville for scrapping. ~408ft vs ~1,106ft Apologies (or you're welcome) for the Ship 26 style stack @nasaspaceflight.com

Telemetry time! Compared to Flight 5, Starship's 7th flight took a lower and slower approach likely thanks to the larger v2 Ship. At MECO, B14 was traveling about 850km/h slower than B12. The rest of the flight was also slower, including more consistent acceleration on ascent.
