Orbital launch No. 232 of 2026 🇺🇸🚀?🛰️
NROL 97 | SpaceX | October 02 | 0353 UTC
@SpaceX to launch an undisclosed 🛰️ for @NRO_gov on its Falcon Heavy🚀 to Molniya Orbit (HEO, Highly Elliptical Orbit) from @NASAKennedy LC-39A, Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The 2 reused side boosters will RTLS (Return To Landing Site), while the brand-new core booster will be expended.

Congratulations to the @NASA workforce and our partner @SpaceX on another successful crewed launch to the International Space Station.
Crew-13 is now aboard the station, Crew-12 will be home soon, and 2026 is far from over. Still ahead: more science missions, more flyovers, the MAX POWER exposition, cargo resupply, a possible Starliner-1 demonstration mission to the ISS, Artemis III rollout and tanking tests, and the first Moon Base launch before the year ends.
We will never stop going. 🇺🇸

Falcon 9 flew more missions in ONE YEAR than the entire Space Shuttle program flew in 30 years
• The entire Shuttle fleet:
135 missions from 1981–2011
• Falcon 9 in 2025 alone:
165 launches
SpaceX exceeded the Shuttle program’s entire lifetime mission count by 30 launches in just 12 months
And Falcon 9 also launched more times than every other orbital launch vehicle combined that year
At the Shuttle program’s historical average cadence, reaching 165 missions would have taken roughly 37 years
Falcon 9 did it in ONE
And the hardware reuse comparison is just as insane:
• Space Shuttle Discovery — 39 flights across roughly 27 years
• Falcon 9 booster B1067 — 37 flights in just over 5 years
B1067 first flew on June 3, 2021
By August 25, 2026, the same booster had launched and landed successfully 37 times
A single Falcon 9 first stage came within TWO flights of the most-flown Shuttle orbiter’s lifetime flight count in about one-fifth of the time
What once took decades of launch operations now happens within a single year of Falcon 9 cadence
SpaceX turned reusability into an industrial-scale operation

It looks so futuristic. Great architecture.
It's October 3rd, so we're wearing pink! 🌸
On Cerro Pachón in Chile, nature puts on its own show during twilight, painting the sky and NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory in glowing pink. We can't really enforce a dress code for the cosmos, but the Chilean skies clearly got the memo.

From Florida to the front door in under eight hours. 🚀
Crew-13 launched aboard Dragon Grace at 11:10 a.m. EDT and docked to the @Space_Station just 7 hours, 55 minutes later, the fastest launch-to-docking by a U.S. spacecraft in station history.
Lucky 13. A whole lot of Grace. One historic ride.

Riverside lights of the Nile beneath a starry sky. I took this photo in 2012 when the majority of the lights were still sodium vapor, creating a thin golden glow that stretched from Alexandria to Aswan. One of the most striking nighttime views from orbit!

A tale of two windows. Here is a look outside from Crew-13’s SpaceX Dragon windows. One faces port toward Earth and the other starboard toward Earth. Timelapse is sped up.

Big hardware for a big mission.
This week, the 130-foot-tall liquid hydrogen tank for Artemis IV made its way to the vertical assembly building at NASA Michoud. Up next, teams will attach roll rings to the hardware in preparation for primer application. The rings allow technicians to rotate the tank to gain access to various areas during the production process.
As part of the SLS (Space Launch System) core stage, the tank will hold thousands of gallons of super-cold propellant to fuel the rocket’s four RS-25 engines, helping generate more than 2 million pounds of thrust at launch.

Room with a view. Check out my new digs as I camp out in Dragon until our departure. With Crew-13’s arrival we have a very full house on the @Space_Station. Luke is living in my previous crew quarters, and I’ve pitched a tent in Dragon.
