Liftoff!

Glad to see that ExoMars is progressing despite cooperation with Russia falling through.

I didn’t expect ESA to get into hypersonics too. Have any previous spaceplanes had air-breathing engines?

Yeah, it’s a solid bunch. We’re coming up on ten years since the first Falcon 9 booster landing. Multiple chinese companies are developing F9 clones. Europe really ought to be testing reusable boosters by now. Hopefully at least one of these will work out.

Neat! It seems like interstellar objects pass through our solar system pretty often. The more we look, the more we find.

I hope MaiaSpace are successful. A launch vehicle with a reusable booster would be great for Europe.

threelonmusketeers, 5 miesięcy temu do esa w ESA Launches Phase 2 of Reusable Upper Stage Demonstrator Project

first phase began in the second half of 2024 and focused on identifying the technology maturation needs

also included an assessment of potential commercial applications

While the call did not provide much additional detail, it does note that Phase 2 will involve early long-lead technology maturation and demonstration activities.

I hope they build some hardware soon :)

Awesome!

Thanks!

The new banner and icon look great! I like how the icon is partially transparent.

In what context?

threelonmusketeers, 6 miesięcy temu do astronomy w [Meta] Comm Clarification

I think that !space is the most general community, and communities like “!astronomy” and “!spaceflight” are subsets.

• Interesting data from a telescope? Astronomy and space, but not spaceflight.
• A new GPS satellite is launched? Spaceflight and space, but not astronomy.
• The Perseverance rover drills into a neat rock on Mars? Space, but not really astronomy or spaceflight.
• A new space telescope is launched? Definitely all three.

These are just my thoughts though, and I’d love to hear what others think.

@Bee, @otter, @Bitswap Thoughts on changing the display name of !space from “Space & Astronomy” to just “Space”? Not that astronomy posts wouldn’t be welcome, but it could help reduce confusion with this community.
