Starship is Subsonic 🎨: Me

NordSpace is proud to announce another major orbital launch program milestone. Alongside our ongoing orbital hardware development, we have successfully completed the high-fidelity trajectory and flight dynamics model for our Tundra orbital rocket after 2 years of intense design

Validation testing on a Raptor 3 performing a Starship V3 ascent burn. Multiple versions of this test will cover the different conditions seen by Starship’s three inner engines during its initial climb to space

The ZhuQue-3 launch vehicle completed its maiden flight with all primary mission events performed nominally. The first stage flight was normal, stage separation performed as planned, and the fairing jettison and first stage landed precisely within the designated area. The second

It was *that* close you know, getting further than the first New Glenn booster did and around where SpaceX were for Falcon 9 in late 2014-early 2015! https://t.co/HXLPw4uWnX

The ZQ-3 is a new-generation, low-cost, high-capacity, high-frequency, reusable LOX/methane launch vehicle independently developed by LandSpace for large-scale satellite constellation missions. The ZQ-3 Y1 features a single-core two-stage tandem configuration, with a diameter of

ZhuQue-3 Y1 Reusable Launch Vehicle Successfully Completes Orbital Mission On December 3, 2025, 12:00 p.m. (UTC+8), ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y1 launch vehicle lifted off from the Dongfeng Commercial Space Innovation Pilot Zone, successfully completing its flight mission with successfully

ZQ-3: Visual confirmation that they were REALLY close. Huge congratulations to @LandSpace_Tech - if it survived re-ignition, it would've landed bang on.

Zhuque-3's first stage didn't make it

起飞！！！

The Starbase team plans to have the next Super Heavy booster stacked in December, which puts it on pace with the test schedule planned for the first Starship V3 vehicle and associated ground systems. Starship’s twelfth flight test remains targeted for the first quarter of 2026.

The Blue Moon MK1 flight vehicle that will land near Shackleton crater. We’ll soon be doing fully integrated checkout tests. At over 26 feet tall (8 meters), it’s smaller than our MK2 human lander but larger than the historic Apollo lander.

Had a feeling something like this might happen

One week ago, we launched our second New Glenn mission. Today, "Never Tell Me The Odds" is back at LC-36 for refurbishment to prepare for its next flight!
