Space Exploration megathread
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

Heads up that Hispasat should be flying late tonight. Recovery attempt has apparently been called off due to poor conditions at the landing site, so that'll be interesting to see how they handle it.

I hadn't noticed this on the horizon until today. April could be a fun month.

SpaceX aims for 3 rocket launches in a single week, 6 launches in 1 month
By Eric Ralph
Posted on March 8, 2018

Tailing an intense February that saw SpaceX successfully complete inaugural launches of both Falcon Heavy and two Starlink prototype satellites, the next three weeks of March are likely to be relatively quiet. However, by all appearances, SpaceX is preparing for a frenetic end-of-month that could include three Falcon 9 launches from three separate SpaceX launch pads, all in a single week, and as many as six launches total between March 29 and April 30.

Falcon Heavy highlight video. Center core splashdown footage is at 1:11, so that's fun(ish).

When the cores are coming down they aim for a location next to the barge and only divert to on the barge at the last minute if everything is ok. This was going too fast, so no diversion.

In case anyone uses Facebook to keep track of SpaceX stuff...

Elon Musk has removed Tesla and SpaceX’s Facebook pages after Twitter challenge

Iridium's slipping, for once not due to a SpaceX issue.




Should be an exciting weekend with CRS-14 on deck for next Monday.

EDIT: Looks like they figured it out, so date has been moved back UP.

(Less than) 24-hour bump for Iridium Next 5. I may have to come in to work a little early tomorrow to catch it.

No landing for either this or CRS-14, though. I understand why they're burning through their stockpile, but it doesn't make for very exciting webcasts.

SpaceX won approval from the FCC for their satellite internet constellation.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/29/fcc-...-services.html

If they do it, it'd be a minimum of 45 launches and up to 250 to get it going. Guess they're counting on this reusability thing to actually work because that's a **** ton of launches.
