Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
Watch “Go For Orbit” and experience the moments behind flying the most ambitious Starship mission yet
With the X-59 came the NASA F-15 in the America 250 livery.
One of my favorites!

Very pleased to announce our newest X-plane, the X-70 Fractal, is joining the @NASAaero fleet to research and develop advanced flight control technology far beyond anything tested in a crewed aircraft. She will take flight under the @NASA banner within the next two years. The science fiction future we imagined as children is ours to build... and I promise, there will be more 🇺🇸
🚨 BREAKING: Introducing X-70 Fractal, @NASA's newest experimental aircraft!
This crewed, modular aircraft will allow the agency to rapidly swap out internal & external payloads to help keep pushing the frontiers of aviation technology! @nasaadmin

Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01) update:
Our first mission on @ulalaunch's Vulcan rocket is set for Friday, Nov. 13, pending range approval. All 40 Leo satellites—our largest payload to date—have been integrated with Vulcan inside Amazon's vertical integration facility (VIF-A) at the Cape, and teams are working through final processing ahead of launch from SLC-41.
Follow along with upcoming Leo missions: spr.ly/6015BHly5U

Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01) payload on the move.
LV-01 is the first of 38 Leo missions on @ulalaunch’s heavy-lift Vulcan rocket, and last week, teams successfully transported the 40-satellite payload—encapsulated inside a 70-foot-tall fairing—to the new Amazon Vertical Integration Facility (VIF-A) at Cape Canaveral.
