- Starlink soon to be approved for Indonesia
There appears to be a lot of red tape still in the way, but it is expected the service will be available by the end of the year.
- Sierra Space once again touts the environmental testing its Tenacity Dream Chaser mini-shuttle is undergoing in prepartion for launch
Meanwhile, there are rumors this testing is delaying the launch until the fall, and that ULA wants to bump Tenacity from its second Vulcan launch because of these delays. ULA needs that second launch quickly in order to begin doing military launches.
- Chinese pseudo-company Landspace moves up first launch of its Zhuque-3 rocket six months to mid-2025
Officials also say it might recover the first stage before the end of ’25 if “they get lucky.”
