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.

What thing are you talking about? FH hasn't been scrubbed much more than you'd expect, but probably a bit more as a percentage than a single stick launch.

It just doesn't fly very often. Not sure if that's why you're thinking it gets scrubbed.

Yeah I meant FH. It just seems like every time I've checked out this thread that they've scrubbed it. Maybe it was a different rocket or maybe it just seems like a lot. Is this the one they had the problem that knocked them out of commission for awhile or am I misremembering? I could go through the thread and check, but that's not fun

SpaceX is targeting Friday, July 28 for Falcon Heavy’s launch of the Hughes JUPITER 3 mission to a geosynchronous transfer orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The 99-minute launch window opens at 11:04 p.m. ET (03:04 UTC on July 29). A backup opportunity is available on Saturday, July 29 with the same window.

Both of the side boosters on this mission previously supported USSF-44 and USSF-67. Following stage separation, Falcon Heavy’s two side boosters will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zones 1 and 2 (LZ-1 and LZ-2) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.

Man 200+ times and for the space nerd in me, it’s still an emotional event…especially when they land the two of them side by side.

Totally agree...

Now that 3rd burn was to slow it down, right? To keep it in geostationary orbit?

I'm not to the point that I care enough to try and understand orbital mechanics.
