Capping off a busy two days at Starbase, Ship 43 is back on the ground after catch-related testing similar to what Ship 42 did. Here's a timelapse of its day. I bet it had a nice view of the Ship 42 static fire from up there!

FIRE! SpaceX has conducted a single-engine static fire of Ship 42 at Massey's this evening. Is a full 6-engine test next in the cards?

This Week In Spaceflight, NASA gave its latest update on the Artemis program and acceleration efforts; the next Starship Super Heavy booster fired up for its final test ahead of the first double-catch mission, and more! Premiering on YouTube tonight at 10:54 ET youtu.be/udys8It4_ps

Upcoming launches this week - by Joe Kangas www.nasaspaceflight.com/2026/10/laun...

Starship Booster 22 was lifted off of the Pad 2 Orbital Launch Mount following its static fire test and returned to Mega Bay 1, just as its flight 15 partner, Ship 42 arrived to Massey's for its own static fire testing. nsf.live/starbase

A "quiet" night at Starbase as Starship Ship 43 left Massey's and returned to Mega Bay 2, completing its cryo testing, meanwhile Ship 42 made the opposite journey leaving Mega Bay 2 and arrived to Massey's for its static fire testing. nsf.live/starbase

So I guess two rolls tonight wasn't enough? Now that Booster 22 is off the OLM, there is ANOTHER delay tonight for it to roll back to the barn. Ship 43 is back at Production now, and Ship 42 is likely to leave soon. 🎥: nsf.live/starbase

Ship at the double! Starship Flight 16: Ship 43 returning from Massey's. Starship Flight 15: Ship 42 taking its place. nsf.live/starbase

Booster 22 fires up, Ship 43 cryo’d, and Ship 45 made an appearance! Check it all out on our latest Starbase Summary: youtu.be/-JqfrRfbCs8

We've been covering Starship Flight 15 preparations with Booster 22's Static Fire, but Flight 16 is also being readied and set to be Starship's Florida debut! Ryan Weber with the status, along with fresh flyover photos of the facilities: www.nasaspaceflight.com/2026/10/robe...

Starship Flight 15: Booster 22 Static Fire! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Blyq...

Blue Origin has completed the re-assembly of Launch Complex 36A's Vehicle Access Tower following the May 28, 2026 explosion of New Glenn during a static fire attempt at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station launch site. Blue Origin CEO Dave Limp has shared this video on X of the entire restack

No surprises here for this launch as SatNet LEO Group 28, another (should be) 9 Chinese LEO comsats got deployed to orbit at 02:03 UTC:

NSF's Space Coast Live cameras spotted a unique moment as the SPMT that brought the New Glenn GS2 to the KSC Turn Basin moved away, allowing the transport SPMT to move into place that will take it the rest of the way onto NASA's Pegasus Barge, on its way to Stennis for testing. nsf.live/spacecoast

NASA's Pegasus barge is back at the Kennedy Space Center Turn Basin to pick up some more hardware, including a Blue Origin New Glenn GS2 upper stage, that arrived to the Turn Basin to await onloading. nsf.live/spacecoast

Hour after arriving to Pad 2, Starship Booster 22 received a "Chopstick Hug" and was lifted onto the Orbital Launch Mount ready for some static fire testing over the coming day, ahead of Flight 15. nsf.live/starbase

Just under 5 months after getting damaged during the static fire anomaly, the tower at LC 36 is fully stacked again, following repairs and upgrades. Just one is a list of milestones we should be seeing in the coming weeks as Blue Origin prepares to return to flight operations. nsf.live/spacecoast

Good Morning Starbase nsf.live/starbase

Starship Booster 22 has made it to Launch Pad 2, after a overnight rollout ahead of its expected static fire testing in the coming days, as part of the pre-flight 15 testing campaign. nsf.live/starbase

Starship Ship 43 got quickly to work after arriving to Massey's undergoing multiple rounds of cryo testing over 10 hours during the afternoon and into the night. nsf.live/starbase

Overview of the major updates from NASA’s Artemis Acceleration media event written by Ryan Caton and Chris Bergin www.nasaspaceflight.com/2026/10/nasa...

NASA has unveiled their October Artemis Update, featuring details on the future of the Space Launch System, an earlier down-rated spacesuit, and multiple pathways to achieving the moon landing. Check out our newest BREAKINGspace video, with Ryan Caton. youtu.be/NLHrM2E954w

Join us 🔴LIVE🔴 on Friday, October 23, from 2:00 p.m. EDT / 18:00 UTC, as the leadership of NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration provides an update on the agency's plans to accelerate the Artemis program. www.youtube.com/live/f7ioFzm...

Blue Origin's Launch Complex 36 tower is one step closer to being ready for New Glenn launches again, as teams stacked the next segment. nsf.live/spacecoast

SpaceX is working on dual flows for its upcoming Starship missions, with Flight 15 set for mid-November from Pad 2. This is ahead of Flight 16's vehicles, which are expected to head to KSC for a launch from 39A. ➡️youtu.be/5NPgyfCRg5A

Poor Vandenberg. Even when there's no fog, they still can't get Falcon 9 off the ground. 😭 Following today's scrub, the Starlink 15-15 mission is now set to launch no earlier than tomorrow at 2:30pm PDT (21:30 UTC), hoping the weather cooperates for attempt #4.

We're back on the pad at LC-1 with our next launch attempt for Electron's 98th mission - "We're Not Hawking Around" for HawkEye 360. Launch window opens: 🚀8:00pm NZDT 🚀07:00 UTC 🚀3:00 am EDT 🚀00:00 am PDT

Welcome back Falcon 9! ASOG returns home to Port Canaveral with B1085 securely on board, a sight that is set to become much less common as Falcon 9 operations slow dramatically at the Cape. 🎥Jerry Pike for NSF

Join us 🔴LIVE🔴 Today, October 22nd, from 2:00 p.m. CDT / 19:00 UTC on NSF’s Starbase Live stream for another Raptorside Chat. We’ll discuss all the latest developments at Starbase and beyond and try to answer any questions you may have! nsf.live/starbase

Starship Ship 43 has arrived to Massey's for its cryo testing campaign, 4 days after its potential flight 16 partner Booster 23 returned from its cryo campaign. Could this be the first Ship to fly out of the Kennedy Space Center? nsf.live/starbase

While it waits for the booster, Starbase Pad 2 is keeping busy testing ahead of the potential catch attempt/s on Flight 15, with teams running a full deluge test simulating launch conditions, with a second test around 8 minutes later timed with when the booster will return. nsf.live/starbase
