Rise and shine: SpaceX Falcon 9 glows through Space Coast clouds
Regardless, as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket roared away from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:43 a.m., carrying a batch of Starlink internet satellites, Denemark's eye on the sky yielded this serene, cloud-parting Photo of the Week.
"There were no visible stars or planets, meaning heavy cloud cover and not good for a time exposure streak shot," said the veteran photographer, who was shooting from Cocoa Beach.
"It turned out the clouds were not quite as thick as they looked ... a ghostly streak shot came out, but I shot this as a backup, with the rocket's glow illuminating the clouds over the beach."

Space Force's Secretive X-37B Is Returning to Space With New Tech
Just a few months after wrapping up its seventh test flight in orbit, Space Force's experimental vehicle known as X-37B is ready for another go. For its upcoming mission, the spaceplane will test new technologies meant to bolster military capabilities in space, such as a navigational sensor that could replace GPS. The U.S. Space Force is set to launch the Boeing-built orbital test vehicle, designated as OTV-8, on August 21 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket. For flight number eight, X-37B will carry an unidentified number of payloads, including a laser communications technology demonstration and a quantum sensor for navigation in space, according to the Space Force. The laser communications demonstration will use infrared light to transmit data and involve commercial satellites in low Earth orbit. Laser communication packs more data into each transmission, and it's also considered more secure than the more commonly used radio frequency transmissions. OTV-8 will also carry a quantum inertial sensor, an extremely precise device that measures acceleration using the principles of quantum mechanics. The device would enable navigation without having to rely on GPS. 'This technology is useful for navigation in GPS-denied environments and consequently will enhance the navigational resilience of U.S. spacecraft in the face of current and emerging threats,' the Space Force wrote in a statement. The X-37B launched on December 28, 2023, for its seventh mission, spending a total of 434 days in orbit before returning to Earth on March 7. Its last mission was significantly shorter than flight number six, which spent a record-breaking 908 days in orbit before landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in November 2022. The spaceplane beat its previous record of 780 consecutive days in orbit. Rather than focusing on the longevity of its missions, the Space Force seems to be gearing toward a faster turnaround of its reusable vehicle. The Space Force is in a race with China to develop the capabilities of its spaceplane. China is in the midst of testing its own spaceplane, Shenlong, which completed its third mission in late 2024 after spending 268 days in orbit. Both countries have shared little information about their respective vehicles, although the Space Force has recently started revealing more about its spaceplane's mission objectives since it made its debut in 2010.

Russia Space Chief in US for First Visit With NASA Head in Years
The head of Russia's space agency arrived in the US ahead of the first meeting between the leaders of the Russian and American space programs since 2018, state-run Roscosmos said. Dmitry Bakanov is set to visit both the Johnson Space Center in Texas and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and will discuss the future of the International Space Station and its deorbiting with NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy, according to a Roscosmos statement on Tuesday. Bakanov also plans to visit billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX facilities and to meet the leadership of Boeing's space program.

SpaceX scrubs static fire test of Falcon 9 due to issue
July 29 (UPI) -- SpaceX scrubbed a static fire test for a Falcon 9 rocket that will carry the Crew-11 team to the International Space Station due to an error. SpaceX said in a statement that it was now targeting a window on Tuesday for the test after saying the scrub was due to an issue with the transporter erector cradle arm position indication at Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. "Today's test auto-aborted at T-57 seconds due to an error with the transporter erector's cradle arm position indication. The arm functioned properly and teams are reviewing data. Falcon 9 and Dragon remain healthy on the pad ahead of this week's NASA Crew-11 launch to the [ISS]," SpaceX said. After the planned burn was set to begin,it was seen returning to pre-static fire. The static fire operation is when clamps are holding the rocket in place to release ahead of engine ignition as it plans on launch day. Booster serial number B1094 is being used on Crew-11's Mission on the Falcon 9. The rocket will be flying for its third time, following the events of Axiom Mission 4. Crew-11 will dock with the International Space Station, but the length of the mission is unknown until about a month after docking.
