No no, keep going until you get a return-to-launchsite failure.
on feb. 28 FAA gave spacex permission to fly Starship again despite SpaceX not having completed a mishap investigation into its jan. Starship explosion — maybe it’s worth figuring out what went wrong & how to mitigate that before flying again? www.cnbc.com/2025/02/28/f...

The first production satellites for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation have finally been shipped to the launchsite! They are expected to be launched aboard ULA's Atlas V rocket in the near future. This will likely be ULA's next launch. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I hope Ukraine aquired the location of the launchsite.

send some stormshadows to the launchsite?
anyone?

This sounds like it's custom grift for some Elon boondoggle, like letting him incinerate seabirds at his launchsite

Rocket Lab has announced that Eta Space's LOXSAT-1 satellite has completed environmental testing, and will soon be shipped to the launchsite! LOXSAT was built upon Rocket Lab's Photon satellite platform, and is set to launch on Electron NET June 25th.

Hoffnung der deutsch-norwegischen Raumfahrt-Zusammenarbeit - im Hintergrund Launchsite von Isar Aerospace in Andoya (nächster Start 19. März), Besuch von @bundeskanzler Merz und Ministerpräsident Store 🇩🇪 🇳🇴 🚀

It also looks like Canopée, Arianespace's transport vessel, also arrived with the stages for VA268 in French Guyana 2 days ago! This means all the hardware for the LE-02 mission should already be at the launchsite, and that we could see launch as early as late next month.

ESA's SMILE mission is on its way to the launchsite! The mission, which is a collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will study the solar wind and its interaction with Earth's magnetosphere. It is set to launch aboard the Vega-C VV29 mission NET April 8th.

For the one at Canso? No I don't think so given there's a highway to the town from Halifax and they already have that gravel road to the launchsite.

Freaking Amazing Set!
The launchsite inside an inactive volcano crater was such a *wild* idea and it's such a pretty architecture. Totally unfeasible as a launch site, of course, but perfect bonkers bond villain idea.

While weather at the launchsite is looking much better for the NG-2 launch tomorrow, weather in space is not, with a G4 rated geomagnetic storm set to hit Earth right around launch. Weather in the landing zone is also not looking too great with moderate risk.

The upper stage for LVM3-M5 has been shipped to the launchsite, where it'll be prepared and integrated for the launch of AST SpaceMobile's 1st Block 2 BlueBird satellite. The satellite itself will be shipped at the end of April, for a launch likely in May. www.isro.gov.in/CryoFlagOff....

Rocket Lab & BlackSky have announced that they've contracted an additional 4 launches! This will bring the total number of Electron launches for BlackSky to 17. BlackSky also announced that the next Gen-3 satellite is at the launchsite and is set to launch in the coming weeks!

Andøya Space, the launchsite Isar operates out of, announced that no more attempts are scheduled during the current launch period, which extends until April 19th. This indicates there will be a longer delay while Isar investigates a suspected leaking COPV. Future periods have not yet been announced.

ESA's Copernicus Sentinel-3C and FLEX Earth Explorer satellites are on their way to the launchsite! The satellites are set to launch together on Vega-C Flight VV30, which is scheduled for NET September 11th.
Sentinel-3C and FLEX left Thales Alenia Space’s clean rooms in Cannes during the night.

The two satellites were then transported to the port of Nice, before heading to French Guiana to prepare for a launch scheduled in September!

Is that the one they use to dig giant holes around launchsite with?

For the first time in a while, a Falcon Heavy payload has arrived at the launchsite! This time it's the ViaSat-3 F3 GEO satellite, which is scheduled for launch NET Late-April. Unlike ViaSat-3 F1, which was fully expendable, the side boosters will be recovered for ViaSat-3 F3.

For Flight 7, they've now pulled a first stage from their production line, which will soon be shipped to the launchsite. Once there, it'll perform a static fire on the pad. Launch is targeted for late Q4 or early Q1, and will carry a payload for Lockheed Martin.
November 12, 2025 at 9:35 PM
The ViaSat-3 F2 satellite has arrived at its launchsite! The satellite was flown from LAX, which lies next to Boeing's Satellite Development Center, to the Shuttle Landing Facility by an Antonov plane. It'll now be prepared for launch aboard an Atlas V 551 rocket in Late-October.
September 30, 2025 at 2:58 PM
ISRO successfully launched the LVM3-M6 mission with AST's 1st BlueBird Block 2 satellite last night! With a 223m² antenna, Block 2 is 3.4 times larger then Block 1. The next Block 2 satellite has already arrived at the launchsite for a Falcon 9 or New Glenn launch early next year.
December 24, 2025 at 1:15 PM
EUMETSAT's MTG-S1 satellite is on its way to the launchsite! The satellite, which also hosts ESA's Sentinel-4A payload, left Bremen aboard the MN Colibri on April 23rd, and is set to arrive in Port Canaveral around May 6th. Its launch aboard a Falcon 9 is scheduled for July.

It matters to make cristal clear that no intrusion in any way from Belarus will be tolerated accidental or not. Don't launch drones if they could end up inside EU/Nato territory. It is worth an interceptor to make that point. It is even worth a missile to take out the launchsite in Belarus.

Intuitive Machines announced that their subsidiary Lanteris Space Systems has completed the SXM-11 satellite, and that it'll soon be shipped to the launchsite! The satellite is scheduled to launch in July. While no launch vehicle has been announced, it'll likely be Falcon 9.
