- OneWeb’s next launch of 36 satellites now scheduled by ISRO no sooner than March 26th
The launch will complete OneWeb’s constellation in orbit.
- Op-ed touts need to transfer space regulation to Office of Space Commerce
The false argument put forth is that this new department will simplify regulation. The reality is that it is simply going to add another bureaucratic layer to the regulatory process whose leaders will be pushing to build their own empires.
- More hints that engineers in Russia suspect a manufacturing defect in their Soyuz/Progress coolant systems
The tweet wonders if the problem could pop up on the Soyuz now in orbit, and wonders how long it can remain in orbit safely.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Virgin just laid off-Branson and Oprah thank you for their bail-outs. Oh, and-as per Red State: “Twitter is censoring Republicans again.” The guys I know at MSFC are real patriots. Too bad you guys support a man with plants in China. I wonder if Elon will hire Pinkertons to dish out head injuries to other employees at his little company town if they fuss about rent being the same as pay.

Jeff Wright: Do you work for phys.org? I don’t really appreciate you including a list of what looks like every article on its March webpage. At that point it is nothing more than spam.
Please stop. I’ve asked you once before not to post comments with this many links. I ask again. Next time I will simply delete it.
