Well, I prefer to wait for things to settle down and make a more accurate report of the things anyway. This is usually not a problem for any space mission from other countries, but the way that the Chinese keep almost every single satellite launch in secret means that the real time reports may...

.....and I remember some years ago that scientists were afraid that Pluto's atmosphere would have frozen up before New Horizons fly past it. Phew! :hailprobe:

Just 6 days after ULA's 100th launch, today we will see their 101st - and the 2nd Atlas V launch too! This time it will fire off from SoCal, with some secret thingy for the US National Reconnaissance Office. The logo for NROL-55 spots ULA's most recently favored Roman deity - good old Vulcan...

Speaking of the NOSS twins......there's a new pair coming to space very soon. But that's a matter for another day, in another thread..... :hmm:

Uh, that Bayern Munich that I just watched is the same team that was thrashed by Barcelona 6 months ago? :huh:

I think I need to consider dating ULA's showcase girl..... :embarrassed:

It has always been a joy to see a new delivery to the ISS reaching on time and on target. :cheers:

A milestone launch is now coming up for America's premium spaceflight logistics carrier (*), and a rather interesting one for ULA too! Since its inception between Lockheed Martin and Boeing back in December 2006, United Launch Alliance has been rather busy with carrying satellites, probes and...

Вывоз РКН Союз-У с ТГК Прогресс М-29М - YouTube Liftoff in just 4 minutes time.

Report on Progress M-29M With the other two "frequent freight carriers" to the ISS still knocked out of service, the importance of keeping up the Russian logistics line is vital to the station's operations. Yet with the accident back in April, a replacement flight needs to be flown to keep up...

Simply stunning launch! :hailprobe:

Mission report As mentioned in the opening post, the first of two satellites ordered by the government of Australia to provide satellite Internet services to the Outback and beyond is now on the launch pad and ready to fly. Well OK, that doesn't sound like too interesting - unless you...

(Editor's note: It's been pretty busy in the world of spaceflight (especially on the Chinese side) so I only have time to finish this one up right now. :P) Russia's northern spaceport at Plesetsk has been one of the most secretive spaceports for a very long time during the Cold War. Even a...

Astrosat and the other passengers had a good ride to orbit and is now being tested before starting science operations. :tiphat:

.....and you apparently didn't know that was me who posted that on the Chinese spaceflight forums. Just that I don't think this is of any importance on this forum. :P

So yeah, there's supposed to be a launch out of Xichang right at around this moment - the 2nd in just 18 days. Alas, except for the trajectory that seems to show that it may be the launch of the 21st satellite in China's BDS satellite navigation system, everything else is based on conjecture and...

The time has come for HTV-5 to leave the ISS - in 20 minutes time from now it will be released from the SSRMS. Tune in to NASA TV if you want to see this!
