We're standing down from today's launch attempt for @hawkeye360 to review out-of-family telemetry data observed during vertical operations on the pad. Further launch opportunities are available throughout the week, standby for a new launch date soon.

Thank you, CNES! 🛰️ ESA/JAXA’s #BepiColombo is set to enter Mercury orbit on 21 November after an eight-year journey. JAXA’s #Mio (@jaxa_mmo) will work with ESA’s MPO to explore Mercury’s magnetic field and magnetosphere.
🛰️ Mercure en approche ! Après 8 ans et près de 10 milliards de kilomètres, #BepiColombo doit entrer en orbite le 21 novembre pour explorer la planète la plus proche du Soleil. ☀️ Une mission @esa /@JAXA_en à laquelle contribue le #CNES.

Teams in Japan polled 'go' to proceed with the countdown to launch the H3 rocket. Onboard is the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft, designed to capture and return a sample from the Martian moon, Phobos.

NASA has been studying Phobos and Deimos at Mars for decades.
See what we've discovered so far, and learn about the many mysteries that remain: science.nasa.gov/mars/facts/…
Go MMX! 🚀
Ready for today's launch of @JAXA_En's mission to the moons of Mars? Liftoff is slated for 3:41 p.m. EDT.

Hard to think of a wilder product unveiling. Not sure how quickly drivers are going to be leaping over each other in traffic, but damn, this was a cool way to introduce Roadster to the world.

BREAKING: Terran R second stage has fired up for the first time!
Relativity is making serious progress towards the first flight of the heavy-lift vehicle. Slightly bigger than Falcon 9, slightly smaller than New Glenn.
🔥 Just another day at Stennis. Stage 2 successfully completed its first integrated hotfire!
The A2 test stand was originally built in the 60s to support Saturn V Upper Stage testing (S-II). It was later reconfigured to be a single engine test stand for Shuttle Main Engine testing and development.
The last Saturn V Stage test occurred October 30, 1970 on A2. It has been 55 years, 11 months, and 17 days since A2 supported stage testing capability.
As of this morning, it is now 0 days.

SpaceX has used thrusters to position spacecraft for decades.
Making them work in a vehicle instead of a vacuum took all-new hardware & controls.
Every usable void in the car is packed with Carbon Fiber Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs)
More compressed gas on board = more flight time

We've been selected to provide propulsion for the Lazuli Space Observatory, the world’s first privately funded, full-scale space science mission. This milestone highlights our flight-proven in-space propulsion technologies that move space forward.

Mission Control Center Houston reports that the CRS-35 Cargo Dragon spacecraft achieved 'hard capture' as of 10:38 a.m. EDT (1438 UTC).
"Houston, station, we copy our tasks are complete. Thanks for another great trip up. On behalf of the crew here, a very special thanks to the teams at NASA and SpaceX for getting this vehicle onboard," said CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk.
"It's going to facilitate station ops, let us use this wonderful machine, called the space station, to further our joint aims of exploration, helping us to go further to the Moon and someday beyond. From the station crew, signing off. Bye for now, thanks everyone."
"And Houston copies all. Great words, we concur. Great work today for all of you up there. Appreciate your help as we docked this Cargo Dragon to the ISS. And then, lastly, just want to give one more 'Happy birthday' to Anil," replied CAPCOM Joe Fronczek.
"Thanks, Joe, and everyone down there. I appreciate it. I couldn't think of a better birthday present, actually," said NASA astronaut Anil Menon, who turned 50 years old today.
"And as someone who worked both in MCC and at SpaceX, I know all the hard work that these huge teams put into making something like this happen. And so, we need to make the most of it and push all of us forward, as Josh said, and I'm going to have a great birthday."
"Thanks, Anil. Good words," Fronczek said.
