Where all the stream links have been coming from

Pretty much covers any orbital launch outside of pegasus rockets, they still do articles on them though

iirc, they dont cover russian, esa, chinese, japan or indian commercial or government launches if they are not related to iss... but i am not sure at the moment... there is quite a lot of launches around the world every year (84 launches last year)...

[icefire]

You\'re thinking of space.com

[Agamemnon]

ah, okay

[Agamemnon]

on 24th feb there will be a chinese launch with beidou sattelite as well...

[Agamemnon]

and according to the last info on nasa website, dragon will launch on april 30th of course, this can be moved to the right quite easily

Should be a pretty exciting year for space developments; China\'s sending a manned Shenzhou to Tiangong, first Cygnus\' and Dragons to the ISS, MSL landing...

[Agamemnon]

yes, it will be interesting...

of course there will be some rescheduling as every year...

So, while we twiddle our thumbs for the next launch, I thought I\'d share this nice little video showing how the SRB\'s for the shuttle launches were recovered. Now I can imagine how my stages are recovered that land in the water.

Any livestreams? ???

[Agamemnon]

for the atlas one there will definitely be several streams... eg. spaceflightnow.com, then on ula website too...

for the chinese launch i am not so sure as it is a governmental launch... they broadcasted only some of their launches (commercial, or tiangong launch for example)

[Agamemnon]
