Today, drivers on the east coast of #Florida barely glance as #rockets 🚀 taking off from #CapeCanaveral soar overhead. “Nowadays I look at it like I look at a #plane 🛫. It’s just normal.” https://www.independent.co.uk/space/spacex-rocket-launch-falcon-9-space-b2288899.html

Oggi, a #LineaRadioSavona, con GianFunk abbiamo cercato di addentrarci in quel mistero chiamato #MateriaOscura, con #Euclid!
Il rivoluzionario telescopio dell'#ESA che è stato lanciato il primo luglio da #CapeCanaveral!
Grazie a tutti gli ascoltatori, buon sabato a tutti! 🙏👋🚀

🇪🇺 #ESA #Euclid #liftoff 🚀 is targeted for ⌚ 11:12 a.m. ET (15:12 UTC) at #CapeCanaveral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIwvwYVUuxg

✅ #ESA operations launch dress-rehearsal successful
✅ Briefing done
✅ ESA mission control in Darmstadt is "go"

👉 https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2023/06/Mission_control_is_GO_for_Euclid_launch

#ESAEuclid launch targeted for tomorrow 15:11 UTC (=17:11 CEST, 11:11 am EDT) from #CapeCanaveral Space Force station, Launch Pad 40 🚀

Weather ☀️ forecast looks fine, no high winds, no thunderstorms, no hurricanes.

It seems things are almost ready 😃

Target #launch time ⏳🚀 for #ESAEuclid is now only 1️⃣ day away. The payload fairing has been closed and #Euclid has been transported to the #CapeCanaveral Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40).

Weather is looking good so Euclid should be mated to the #Falcon9 and the rocket put onto the launch pad today, for a launch tomorrow!

#ESA has more on the last days:

#ESAEuclid launch 🚀 now 2️⃣ days away. These were the reactions when a number of #EuclidMission scientists and engineers for the first time encountered the fully assembled spacecraft 🛰️ in February, before shipping to #CapeCanaveral:

.@ESA_Euclid will depart soon, to begin its launch campaign in #CapeCanaveral.
Let's have a look behind the scenes of the last operations by @esa & @Thales_Alenia_S's team in #Cannes to prepare it for the journey.

On March 8 we captured this multi-image shot of @relativityspace’s Terran 1 rocket on the launch pad at #CapeCanaveral. The launch was aborted, however this would have been the first test flight of the 3D-printed launcher. Another launch attempt is scheduled for March 11. #GLHF

📆 13 Feb, 2023 #Vulcan stacking complete at #CapeCanaveral. The maiden flight will deliver two #Kuiper prototype broadband #satellites 🛰️ to #LEO, send the #Astrobotic Peregrine commercial #lunar lander to reach the #Moon 🌙, and carry a Celestis Memorial #Spaceflight Payload into #DeepSpace 🌌. Despite the fact that this mission is Vulcan’s first ever launch, it features quite an ambitious flight profile. This will mark many firsts including two #BE4 flight #engines integrated on a rocket 🚀 and igniting for the first time ever.
In the coming days, we can expect more testing updates before the final flight readiness firing 🔥 . https://thespacebucket.com/ula-vulcan-booster-integration-prep-final-testing-more/

Sea-based 🌊 :
"“Dozens” to “hundreds” of #Starship launches per day would be two or three orders of magnitude beyond the highest cadences the #FAA has ever permitted. #Shotwell’s continued interest in floating platforms is thus unsurprising, as they may be the only way #SpaceX can realistically achieve airline-like 🛫 #Starship operations while still coexisting with #US 🇺🇸 regulators." https://www.teslarati.com/spacex-halts-starship-offshore-launch-pad-development

It's been extra-foggy over the past few weeks so I haven't been delivering on the sunrise photos. So, to make up for it, here's a video on my Tumblr account from 5 months ago of a rocket taking off from Cape Canaveral at sunrise, as seen over the lake behind my house. → https://memora8ilia.tumblr.com/post/691653062910263296/sunrise-special-rocket-launch-at-dawn-edition

Sunrise rocket launches are the best rocket launches.
