November 7, 2024 Quick space links
Courtesy of BtB’s stringer Jay. This post is also an open thread. I welcome my readers to post any comments or additional links relating to any space issues, even if unrelated to the links below.
- Blue Origin gets permit for its New Glenn launchpad deluge system at Cape Canaveral [pdf]
The permit is effective through 2029. From Jay: “I hope it is not potable water! Oh the humanity!” I hate to tell him but it is potable water, according to the permit.
- Nice map showing who is launching where at Cape Canaveral [jpg]
It is a screen capture taken from a NASASpaceflight.com forum.
- ISRO is proposing India’s own manned lunar space station
Launch date 2040. I do not think this project has as yet been approved by the Indian government. I suspect that approval will largely depend on the launch success of India’s Earth-orbit station to be completed by 2030.
- NASA officials are today providing an update on Artemis program
Expect news to show up by tomorrow.
- Fifteen years ago today the Cassini Saturn orbiter photographed the elongated shadow of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, on Saturn itself
A really cool image.
Posting today will continue to be light. I am wearing bandaging on one wrist that makes typing very slow and extremely difficult. All will go back to normal tomorrow.
