Countdown currently on hold at T-7 minutes. Today's window is almost 2 hours long..... :zzz:

You've got to be kidding me if you believe that this is more than a harmless research paper/thesis. :rofl: :dry:

As we all know with Europe's flagship rocket, in recent years most of its launches are share rides, which lead to some interesting pairing of customers on one Ariane 5 flight. This time though, you really can't find a more famous tag team than the one launching tomorrow! Two of the world's...

The whole webcast has been archived on the link 2 posts above, but here's the main part: I'm pretty sure every one here can now breathe easier now since many of the emergency cargo loads added following the latest knock downs of the other ISS supply lines has been loaded onto HTV-5. :jiggy...

I'm more than one month late, but here it is: This allows for the next Soyuz "short visiting crew" to dock at the ISS during the 2 visitors' 10 day stay. The next Progress flight - moved forward after M-27M's demise - is currently scheduled on October 1st.

T-4 days and still counting towards launch. Updates coming very, very soon..... ;)

Finally some updates from Orbital ATK! - The cargo compartment for the CRS-4 Cygnus (first "extended Cygnus" with a longer cargo compartment and circular solar arrays) is now at the Cape, with the service module now in final testing ahead of launch on December 3. Thanks to the capabilities of...

30 years today, at around this moment, the deadliest single aircraft accident ever in history unfolds over Japan:

The Russian EVA that was mentioned earlier is now about to start. Details about the EVA can be found here: http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/08/rs-41-cosmonaut-only-russian-spacewalk-2015/

You want to see a Chinese rocket launch? Sorry, but as of right now this opportunity is closed to any foreigner in all 3 launch bases in operation today (including - yup - me). By next year though you might try to align your Chinese holiday and head for the "Chinese Hawaii" Hainan Island and...

Today's probably the best day to re-activate this thread, given that I've jumped over the queue and directly installed Windows 10 from Microsoft's own site. ;) Bye quirky Windows 8.1: Hello Windows 10! From my experience so far, I may declare later on that dual-booting...
