SpaceX has launched the CRS-34 mission for NASA aboard the Falcon 9 B1096- from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station .
Onboard the Cargo Dragon spacecraft, on its 6th trip to space were around 2,948 kg kg of food, supplies, Scietific expiraments, and equipment for the crew of the International Space Station.
After completing its mission. the booster returned to land back on Landing Zone 40, not far from where it launched at Cape Canaveral.

Artemis II and four humans are on their way towards the Moon!
How do you even find words to describe such a beautiful and incredible moment as this?

The nebula for the RTLS burn on Crew 12 was spectacular! The four astronauts continue on their way to International Space Station, and for the first time, the Falcon 9 booster returned to LZ-40.

@ulalaunch has launched its Vulcan Centaur rocket in the VC4S configuration from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
On board today's mission, USSF-87, were two Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program (GSSAP) satellites launched to Geosynchronous Orbit, as well as a Propulsive EELV (Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle) Secondary Payload Adapter (Propulsive ESPA), carrying research, development, and training systems launched for the United States Space Force.
While there appeared to be a issue with one of the SRBs during the initial launch, so far it appears that the mission is continuing to nominal orbit.

Auroras are such a beautiful phenomenon. It's hard to express words when seeing them so bright in the sky, reflecting on the snow. A wondrous interaction between charged particles from solar wind and Earth's atmosphere
Auroras and Rockets, a rare combination!
NASASpaceflight team is proud to be on site in Andøya supporting @isaraerospace flight two!
Note: This video was taken in March 2025 ahead of the first Spectrum launch.

We at NASASpaceflight are delighted to be serving as on-site partners supporting @isaraerospace 's second flight of Spectrum, Onward and Upward, from the Andøya Spaceport in Norway.
Stay tuned for mission updates from Isar.
GS1 is making its first return! On New Glenn’s second flight, Never Tell Me The Odds successfully landed on Jacklyn! We took a boat ride out to see it last night, but don’t miss our live coverage of the return today.

Yesterday afternoon, New Glenn took its second flight, launching two spacecraft for the ESCAPADE mission. The clear skies and daylight launch this time around provided brilliant views of GS1 from ignition until reentry.

"Heading down to Key West for this Starship flight, rather than Texas, let me capture the brilliant journey of Starship after its separation from Superheavy. While an up close view, feeling the rumble, is my usual preference, this was an incredible view!"

"Watching the Stage 2 stand breakover a Falcon 9 second stage, have it hauled off, and then seeing a new second stage be lifted into place and static fired later that evening was one of the coolest parts of visiting McGregor. "

Return of booster 15-2 to the production site following its static fire. The booster will fly its second flight on Starship launch 11.
