NASA details an action-packed Artemis III mission involving Orion, Blue Origin’s Blue Moon, and SpaceX’s Starship. Meanwhile, SpaceX fires up Booster 22 ahead of a mission targeting the first catch of both Super Heavy and Starship.
This week on This Week in Spaceflight, we break down NASA’s Artemis plans and the race to return astronauts to the Moon. Our latest Space Coast flyover also reveals progress at Blue Origin’s New Glenn production, testing, and launch facilities.
Plus, updates on NASA’s Moon base preparations, lunar rovers, Firefly’s MoonFall mission, Dragonfly’s first flight simulation, ESA’s Lunar Link, and PLD Space’s Miura 5 rocket.
We also recap the week’s launches, SpaceX’s Starfall capsule, Hera’s asteroid approach, JAXA’s MMX mission, and the end of NASA’s Swift Observatory mission.
