XB-70A Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Maiden flight for Éole (Aeolus) at the CSG. This reduced model is expected to provide aerodynamic data for the Altaïr project, aimed at providing low-cost launches in ultra-light and light payloads range. Concepts: With the imminent end of the Pegasus program, and the cancellation of Stratolaunch, the only competitor in this sector would be LauncherOne.

XB-70A Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Pyramid Music just released their last music video, which includes some sights taken during VA10, the first flight of Ariane 3. Some nice shots taken during that flight: Cameras were installed on the PAPs for further studies. Edited December 5, 2019 by XB-70A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XB-70A Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Quote ClearSpace-1 will be the first space mission to remove an item of debris from orbit, planned for launch in 2025. The mission is being procured as a service contract with a startup-led commercial consortium, to help establish a new market for in-orbit servicing, as well as debris removal.
