For OTV-1, after a bit of research and checking the only picture available, I'm pretty sure the building is the airlock of the Astrotech PPF, aka ASO building 1032

Final note on the Astrotech PPF building, it seems it is being expanded with a new cleanroom, the topping-off was celebrated 2nd of September, you can see the Airlock used OTV-1 on the left.

For OTV-2 however, this is not the case, for whatever reason they switched from Astrotech to the (former ?) NASA Hazardous Processing Facility, aka building 1610, identification, again, was done by looking at other images, like this image KSC-08pd3500 of NOAA-N prime processing

More MTG-S1 updates! 🛰️
Since arriving in #Florida yesterday, the satellite disembarked the MN Colibri and was transported to the Astrotech premises, where it will undergo a series of tests to prepare for its upcoming launch. 🚀

Tonight (knock on wood) PUNCH and SPHEREx will take a short truck ride from the Payload Processing Facility at Astrotech Space Operations, a couple of miles to the SLC-4 pad area for integration to a Falcon 9. Pretty exciting! I'm heading in to the base now to witness the rollout. ☀️🛰️

not so great pics of total #lunareclipse
didn't realize the lens got fogged up and didn't have dew heat strip with me so paid the price but at least i got to see last one until 2029...cloudy weather didn't help either 🫠

I pulled a bit more corona out of one of my solar eclipse images I took back in April of this year. Tried to get a bit of detail to come through too.

I was too busy (& lazy) to photograph the recent Harvest Moon.
Instead, here are a few shots of the moon I've captured. 🔭
First one: the full-moon rising behind the south pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge a few months ago.

We are one more critical step down - MTG-S1 is fuelled. ✅
From 16–20 June, teams at Astrotech loaded oxidizer and fuel, wearing full SCAPE suits for safety.
After a successful pre-fuelling review on 13 June, the satellite is now nearly 3.5 tonnes and ready for integration with the launch adapter!

I spent the last, very busy, week at Astrotech Space Operations participating in spacecraft integration and test activities, including leak and functional testing and propellant loading. Six and 7am starts just about daily. Launch is next month. So far, so good, but kinda tired. Good to be home.
