Orbital launch No. 262 of 2026 🇺🇸🚀26⭐️🔗🛰️
Starlink 31-2 | SpaceX | November 13 | 2245 UTC
@SpaceX to launch the 2nd orbital Starship mission carrying the 2nd batch of operational @Starlink V3🛰️ to LEO from @StarbaseTX Pad 2, Texas.
First Starship upper stage tower catch attempt.
First catch attempt for both: the booster - shortly after launch - and the ship - about 14 orbits and 22 hours later.
The long coast is needed so Earth’s rotation brings Starbase back under the ship’s ground track for a return-to-launch-site trajectory. The ship attempts the tower catch only if systems critical for reentry, the landing burn, and the tower approach check out healthy; contingency ocean splashdown options exist (including early returns near Hawaii or Chile).

OK wow, this is actually 4 satellites in one where the 3 sub-satellites will separate later from the main one to fly in formation for a low frequency radio astronomy interferometry mission, if I read correctly.

Great opportunity to watch a launch!
We have reached maximum capacity on the main boats for Friday's Starship Flight 15 launch attempt.
We have added an additional boat to meet increased demand. Join us aboard to witness this historic launch at the South Bay pass, approximately 4 miles / 6.5 km from the launch site with a direct line of sight across the water, provides some of the closest and clearest views of the pad, rocket, liftoff, and booster landing available to the public.
The boat is equipped with a PA system in which we'll play SpaceX'd official launch webcast. There is a restroom onboard. $99 per person. Free parking on site. If scrubbed prior to checkin time, ticket still valid for the next attempt.
For more information and to book tickets, visit star-fleet.tours/current/
For context: Vandenberg’s runway (now at Space Force Base) was lengthened in the 1980s, from roughly 2,5 km (8,000 ft) of asphalt to about 4,5 km (15,000 ft) of concrete, to support Space Shuttle landings for planned polar-orbit DoD missions from SLC-6 (“Slick Six”).
No Shuttle ever launched from or landed at Vandenberg though.
After the 1986 Challenger disaster, the West Coast Shuttle plans were canceled.
The runway later saw other use (e.g., X-37B landings).
Another milestone for #DreamChaser!
The @FAANews has issued Sierra Space a license authorizing Dream Chaser to reenter and land at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Thank you to the FAA for its collaboration and support of commercial space innovation.
The Shuttle Assembly Building, along with the mobile service tower and access/umbilical tower, was demolished in a controlled explosion on June 16, 2026.
Here a short clip about it, shared by @SLDelta30.
Every time I see a post on Dream Chaser, it feels as if a long-lost friend has reappeared.

PLD Space's second stage of MIURA 5 is at the @intaespana facilities in Madrid for an electromagnetic compatibility campaign for the launcher’s avionics, developed entirely in-house by @PLD_Space itself.
