While re-entry heating damaged a protective “skirt” around the the engine bay of the upper stage Starship, along with partially melting a control flap near its hinge, the vehicle remained under control throughout and made it all the way to a powered splashdown in the Indian Ocean as planned. -
The mission featured the 400th successful booster landing on a droneship. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 7:10 a.m. EDT (1110 UTC). -
SpaceX will make its latest attempt following scrubs due to ground systems issues and then poor weather. Liftoff from Pad A at Starbase is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CDT (7:30 p.m. EDT / 2330 UTC). -
The mission featured Luxembourg’s NAOS satellite along with seven other secondary satellites. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from pad 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base at 11:53 a.m. PDT (2:53 p.m. EDT / 1853 UTC). -
SpaceX rescheduled the 10th flight of its Starship rocket to Tuesday after bad weather caused a 24 hour delay. Liftoff is scheduled for no earlier than Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT (7:30 p.m. EDT / 2330 UTC). -
Launched Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station atop a Falcon 9 rocket, the cargo Dragon closed out a 28-hour rendezvous with an ahead-of-schedule docking at the lab’s forward port at 7:05 a.m. EDT as the two spacecraft were passing 260 miles above the Ivory Coast of Africa. -
Watch live as a Super Heavy booster and Starship launch on a crucial test flight for SpaceX’s fully reusable rocket, following three consecutive failures of the Starship upper stage in-flight and an explosion on the test stand. Liftoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. CDT / 7:30 p.m. EDT / 2330 UTC. -
This will be the 50th Dragon vehicle to visit the International Space Station, including the Dragon 1 vehicles that were berthed to the orbiting lab. Docking with the Harmony module is anticipated Monday, Aug. 25, at 7:30 a.m. EDT (1130 UTC).
