Deep Space Updates November 26th - Scott Manley
24 minutes
Nov 26, 2023
The last 2 weeks saw the biggest spaceflight of the year, when Starship was lobbed above the Karman line for a few minutes, becoming the most massive object ever launched into space by humans.
Arianespace ran a full duration test of the Ariane 6 core. Qualcomm and Iridium gave up on trying to add satellite support to low cost smart phones, Ursa Major starts making solid rocket motors, and Psyche phones home with lasers.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
