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).

So, this is how the Himalayas were formed. 🏔️🌍
Mount Everest, standing at 8,848 meters above sea level, was once part of an ancient ocean floor. It’s incredible to witness nature’s craftsmanship far more extraordinary than anything human imagination could create.

Okay, we're loving these. This vintage Moon Base artwork is such a vibe 🤩
When past meets present 🖌️🌙
For decades, artists have imagined humans living and working on the Moon, as seen in these illustrations from the ‘60s through ‘90s.
While the designs may look different from what we'll build, the vision is becoming a reality with @NASAMoonBase.

Small craters are visible around the surface. A habitat is visible on the righthand side with Earth rising above. Commissioned by NASA in the late ‘80s. Artist: Garret Moore. Credit: NASA

Engineering perfection in every single detail. 🔩🚀
A stunning close-up of the SpaceX Starship highlighting the jaw-dropping mechanical artistry behind its design. This incredible shot captures the massive, intricately sculpted grid fin hinge mechanism alongside the flawless pattern of hexagonal ceramic heat shield tiles.
From the rugged aerodynamic shrouds to the heavy-duty bolts engineered to withstand the extreme forces of atmospheric reentry, it’s a powerful testament to modern aerospace engineering.
Human ingenuity at its absolute peak.

Roars Off the Launch Pad:
China successfully launched the 29th group of satellites for its low-Earth-orbit satellite internet constellation from the Hainan commercial space launch site in Wenchang, south China's Hainan Province, on November 9, 2026.
A Long March-12 carrier rocket lifted off at 4:24 a.m. (Beijing Time), sending the satellites into their preset orbit. The launch marked the 676th flight mission of the Long March carrier rocket series.
The Long March-12, measuring about 62 meters in length, is a new-generation Chinese launch vehicle that uses cryogenic liquid propellants. It is the country's first single-core rocket with a diameter in the 4-meter class.
The rocket has a payload capacity of at least 6 tonnes to a sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700 kilometers and can support both single-satellite and multi-satellite launches into different orbits.

On Friday, November 13, SpaceX is planning to catch the V3 Super Heavy booster for the first time, as well as Starship. If they succeed, this will be the first rocket to be fully recovered and soon the first to be fully reused!
The booster will return and be caught at +6:35, while the ship won’t return to be caught until +22:32:34, giving SpaceX plenty of time to safe the booster and return it to the build site before the ship returns.

Replying to @NASAMoonBase @SpaceX
The Moon Base delivery network is growing. NASA has selected eight American companies for the next phase of our CLPS initiative, strengthening our lunar transportation capabilities to support larger and more frequent deliveries for Moon Base development.
