Curated by: NASASpaceflight (167 videos)
This week, we saw the return of GS-1—New Glenn’s first-stage booster—safely back from orbit after its historic landing at Port Canaveral. But Blue Origin didn’t stop there. They announced a suite of massive upgrades to turn New Glenn into a super heavy-lift vehicle capable of carrying up to 70 metric tonnes to orbit, nearly rivaling Starship and SLS. From 9 BE-4 engines, larger tanks, propellant subcooling, reusable fairings, and deployable aerobrakes, to a 120-meter tall variant, New Glenn’s future is suddenly looking very big. We’re also diving into: 🚀 SpaceX rolls out the FIRST Block 3 Starship Super Heavy booster (Booster 18)… which then suffers a catastrophic COPV failure during ground testing at Massey’s. 🧵 Europe unveils its first next-generation spacesuit, EuroSuit, set to be tested on the ISS by Sophie Adenot. 🌌 NASA releases stunning images of 3I/Atlas, our third confirmed interstellar visitor. 🛰️ Pegasus is BACK as a rescue mission targets the Swift Observatory. 🛰️ PLD Space shows off the first complete qualification model of MIURA 5. 📊 And in Space Traffic, we recap an incredibly busy launch week: Falcon 9 record flights, Electron double launches, Chinese missions, and more. Plus: your weekly Space Traffic Report from NextSpaceflight, including Starlink launches, Chinese orbital activity, and ULA’s final Atlas V launch of the year. v3 Super Heavy Booster Render from Starbase Tracking https://x.com/TrackingTheSB ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight's channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
