SpaceX is also gearing up for NASA’s upcoming Crew-11 mission launch, which will carry astronauts Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Kimiya Yui, and OlegPlatonov to the International Space Station for a science mission. The liftoff for this mission is targeted for 9:39 PM IST on July 31.

Looking for something fun to do Saturday? Californians could catch a Starlink satellite launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Two NASA satellites rocketed into orbit from California aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday, commencing a $170 million mission to study a phenomenon of space physics that has eluded researchers since the dawn of the Space Age.

One of these ride-along NASA efforts is the Athena EPIC (Economical Payload Integration Cost) SmallSat, which will demonstrate a new way of more efficiently placing remote-sensing (or rather, Earth-observing) instruments into orbit.

Athena EPIC is poised to serve as a pathfinder for space startup NovaWurks and its sensorcraft architecture, demonstrating a more innovative method for placing remote sensing instruments into orbit faster and more affordably. This approach enables the opportunity to learn from commercial best practices and implement an “all-of-government” approach.
