The Australian Space Agency has confirmed debris found in SpaceX’s NSW Snow Mountains. Key points: Three pieces of debris have so far been found The residents of the Snowy Mountains have been notified that more pieces can be found People were told to call the hotline if they found more Three pieces of space junk have so far been found in the region, which is thought to be the largest piece found in Australia since 1979. Two sections were examined by technical experts from the Australian Space Agency and NSW Police on Saturday. Police have since confirmed that they are also aware of a third piece found in the area. This space debris is estimated to be three meters long. ( ABC South East NSW: Adriane Reardon ) Authorities believe the space debris belongs to SpaceX but have been waiting for confirmation. “The agency has confirmed the debris is from the SpaceX mission and continues to engage with our US counterparts, as well as other parts of the Commonwealth and local authorities as appr

Space junk from old SpaceX missions may have landed in rural Australia. A piece of charred material reportedly left over from the reentry of the SpaceX spacecraft was found in the middle of a sheep paddock near Dalgety; The discovery followed an “explosion” heard by witnesses July 9 local time in the southeast of the country. SpaceX has yet to confirm whether the pieces were part of its Crew-1 Dragon spacecraft that managed to crash on May 2, 2021. That said, longtime space debris tracker Jonathan McDowell said in twitter (opens in a new tab) Friday (July 29) that Dalgety was actually under the re-entry projection of a piece of unstressed Dragon “stem”, dumped before re-entry. McDowell added that the photos showed that the debris came from one of the trunk fins. These fins are on the circumference of the rocket to aid aerodynamics during the launch phase of the mission.

Launch of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission to the International Space Station has been delayed by nearly a month because the Falcon 9 booster was damaged during transport. The Crew-5 mission — the fifth of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program — will now launch no earlier than September 29. The launch was supposed to start in early September, meaning the mission has been delayed by nearly a month. The revised schedule will allow SpaceX to “complete hardware processing,” according to a NASA statement. SpaceX is preparing a Falcon 9 booster for its maiden voyage, but obstacles along the way have resulted in some extra work and scheduling changes, as NASA explains: SpaceX removed and replaced the rocket interstage and some onboard instrumentation after hardware was damaged during transportation from SpaceX’s production plant in Hawthorne, California, to the company’s McGregor test facility in Texas for stage testing. The SpaceX team completed – and the NASA team reviewed – load, shock, and struct

NASA has selected SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket to launch its next major space telescope, a wide-field observatory that directly complements the new James Webb Space Telescope. Originally known as the Wide Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST), NASA recently renamed the mission in honor of Nancy Grace Roman, the basic force behind the Hubble Space Telescope. Fittingly, the basic design of the Roman Space Telescope is reminiscent of Hubble in many ways, due to the fact that the mission existed solely because the US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) chose to donate an unused billion-dollar spy satellite – a satellite which is effectively a secret version of Hubble facing Earth. However, thanks to decades of improvements in electronics, electromechanics, and the instrumentation side of spacecraft and space telescopes, the RST will be dramatically more capable than any similar Hubble telescope. And now, after years of battling for survival, the Roman Space Telescope of

SpaceX is expanding Starlink’s internet service to oceans, rivers and lakes – at a high cost. Starlink Maritime is now here and the company is targeting superyacht owners, oil rigs and merchant vessels as potential customers. This service has an upfront hardware fee of $10,000 for two ‘rugged’ Starlink platters and regular fees will run up to $5,000 per month. In comparison, space-based internet costs $110 per month with a one-time equipment cost of $599 for residential customers; it is also available for business and RV. Scroll down for the video SpaceX projects maritime performance speeds of 100-350Mbps down and 20-40Mbps up. Pictured is one of the satellites attached to the ship Starlink Maritime currently only extends to waters around North America, Europe and Australia. In the fourth quarter of this year, the company plans to expand that coverage to the wider oceans of the Northern Hemisphere, with plans to expand to all of the world’s oceans in the first quarter of 2023.
