The Space Thread - Launches, Events, Live Streams, Governments, Corporations, drama in Spaaaaaaaaaaaace

[mindlessobserver]

So many different threads talking about various things space related, but no dedicated thread for autists to follow along the blow by blow of stuff happening with Space. So welcome to the "Space Thread".

At any given point in time, there is all sorts of stuff happening in the world of space flight. Much of it is publicly available! For example, as this OP is being written, SpaceX is preparing for the first spacewalk conducted by a private corporation.

Tonight's main event. SpaceX is going to attempt a spacewalk, to set a "first" milestone. First spacewalk by a private corporation and its employees.

Is this them just testing if they can do an EVA or do they have something to do while doing the EVA?

Its just an EVA exercise. SpaceX wants to show its equipment can do EVA.

Global Launch Schedule

I prefer https://www.spacelaunchschedule.com/
I find spaceflightnow can be very slow to update.

also sometimes SpaceX will have info updated before they announce, like say you're waiting for the announcement for Starlink batch 11-6's time?
if you take

https://www.spacex.com/launches/mission/?missionId=sl-10-2

and swap out the mission number so it would go "sl-11-6" they will have those up before they update the twitter

SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission preparing for deorbit burn with reentry off the coast of Florida. This is the crewed mission from the space walk earlier this week.

https://www.youtube.com/live/l1okXXAJ6RU?si=NlrqghgrL1fH7AEp

4.5 hours left on Mission Clock. Since this is a SpaceX flight, the cameras are live around the capsule.

Reentry should be visible to the naked eye for any Kiwis on a western Carribean Island like Jamaica or Cuba.
