Ok this is an insane photograph 🤯 great work Mike!!!
The #SpaceX #Falcon9 meets the Moon as another batch of #Starlink satellites are sent to orbit. Congrats to @elonmusk & team on another successful launch & landing! (📷: me / @WeReportSpace)

Away goes the debris shield, and here’s our first look at the helicopter. It’s stowed sideways, folded up and locked in place, so there’s some reverse origami to do before I can set it down. First though, I’ll be off to the designated “helipad,” a couple days’ drive from here.

I’ve been waiting for a beautiful photo of The Great Conjunction to share, and this is certainly very beautiful.
The #GreatConjunction of #Jupiter and #Saturn thru my telescope just after 6pm. 4 of Jupiter's moons; Europa, Ganymede, Io & Callisto, and Saturn's Titan moon visible. Stacked many images for more clarity and color. Nexstar Celestron 6SE with Nikon D750 attached. #scwx #ncwx

After 8 yrs study with the @OpenUniversity this is likely my last module result day but certainly the most special; the culmination of around 14 months research to finish an MSc in Engineering. Thanks to @IMechE and @TheLENASpace for supporting my research.

Busy wk @TheLENASpace with progress on our project to dev a 60kN LOx/Kero rocket propulsion system. Our in-house designed and mfd test rig enables testing of multiple propellants- the imgs show delivery of Liquid Nitrogen at -196°C used for the first stages of LOx pump testing

Encouraging to hear @BorisJohnson's positive announcements on #space at #ConservativeConference2019, recognising "space infrastructure will be of huge value to this country” and that the proposed investment in #Sutherland, #Newquay & #Snowdonia #spaceports will benefit whole UK.

In a busy media week, I talked to @SkyNews on the @ESA_ExoMars Rover as it leaves Stevenage for testing before launch next year. #Mars
A space rover that scientists say could discover life on Mars is taking its first step on its journey to the red planet - leaving Stevenage. 🚀 Read more here: po.st/iqz9g8

Yesterday we put @NASA_Orion spacecraft's propulsion system to the test! Watch the engines fire up 🔥, simulating a challenging mission scenario: boosting Orion into a temporary orbit. This test helps ensure the safety of astronauts on #Artemis missions: go.nasa.gov/2yIdqbM

The UK #space industry is well-placed to be global sector leader, thanks to its experience, creativity, scientific excellence & strategic partnerships, says UKspace Chair, Graham Peters. ukspace.org/news/thought-lea… #SpaceIsGreat #innovation
April 19, 2019, LinkSpace reusable rocket NewLine Baby had successfully accomplished the second free flight and recycling test. The flight time is 30s, the flight height is 40m. In the second half of the year, we are planning to recycle the rocket at a height of 1km.
