@silicatefondue.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gyLAUNCH at 1452 UTC Jun 5 of an Atlas V N22 with the Starliner capsule 'Calypso' on mission Boeing-CFT, with astronauts Wilmore and Williams aboard . Starliner cataloged as 59968 in a 321 x 331 km x 51.6 deg orbit.
Show PostLAUNCH at 0500 UTC Jun 6 of Gushenxing-1 from Jiuquan with the TEE-01B imaging sat for an unknown company, the Naxing-3A/3B satellites for Tsinghua and Tianlian Cekong Jishu and a modified 3rd stage with a hosted payload, the Ai Shen orbital test platform.
Show PostShip 29 completed its burn and entered marginal-orbit trajectory around -10 x 213 km x 26.8 deg, with impact in the eastern Indian Ocean, NW of Australia. Despite major thermal erosion to the flaps, Ship 29 survived reentry and reignited its engines just above the ocean for controlled splashdown.
Show PostHere is a fit to the Starship webcast height-velocity data with a -15 x 213 km orbit. Not perfect but pretty good; I believe perigee is somewhere between -20 and -10 km based on my attempts to fit.
Show PostLAUNCH at 1813 UTC Jun 20 of Rocket Lab Electron from Mahia pad 1B with five IoT comms satellites for the Toulouse-based company Kinéis to 650 x 660 km sunsync orbit with 0636 local time orbital plane.
