"Previously, NASA indicated it would attempt to reach an annual cadence with the Artemis IV mission in 2027. Based upon the revised schedules, such a yearly cadence will now not come before 2030, at least."

NASA rolls out it's Space Launch System rocket for a second time for another test. After an incomplete fueling test in March/April, the second test is now expected in mid-June.

Next-generation spacesuits, needed by astronauts aboard the International Space Station and by moonwalkers in the NASA's Artemis program, will be developed by Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the Universe’s birth in the Big Bang (at a redshift of 6.2) — the most distant individual star ever seen.

Smaller than a penny, the flower-like rock artifact on the left was imaged by NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover using its Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera on the end of its robotic arm. The image was taken on Feb. 24, 2022, the 3,396th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The “flower,” along with the spherical rock artifacts seen to the right, were made in the ancient past when minerals carried by water cemented the rock. Figure A shows a tighter view of the flower-like feature.

Rogozin still bitter: "In response to the sanctions, Roscosmos will no longer supply rocket engines to the United States. "Let them fly on their brooms,"

In reality, only one US rocket is still requiring engines manufactured in Russia, the Antares.

Martin said that the operational costs alone for a single Artemis launch—for just the rocket, Orion spacecraft, and ground systems—will total $4.1 billion. This is, he said, "a price tag that strikes us as unsustainable."

Astra Space launch fails to separate, does not reach orbit. This is a tiny rocket (50kg payload) by a new space start-up. (Launch 10 Feb 2022). You can see in the video that the upper stage tumbles away.

Launch and landing of the SpaceX NROL-87 mission from Vandenberg, California. I know those launch and landing videos look all quite similar, but they are still beautiful.

SpaceX has announced a "Starship Updates" event for Thursday 10th Feb 2022. This is the first public and official event in two years. (I will post the live stream URL once it becomes available)
