@orbitalradar.bsky.socialNext launch: Falcon 9 Block 5 | O3b mPower 11-13 in ~8h. 🚀 This launch will add to the 29,443 tracked objects in space, keeping our eyes on the expanding network orbiting Earth.
Follow the live countdown at https://orbitalradar.com/launch-schedule.
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialFalcon 9, set to launch in ~10h, carries a payload but doesn't land like Dream Chaser. This spaceplane returns 1,850 kg safely to runways, aiming for 15 reuses. Curious how?

@orbitalradar.bsky.socialSTARLINK-34802 and FLOCK 4H-9 are set to pass within 2.95 km of each other.
At several km/s, this is closer than it seems. Some objects are uncontrollable debris, unable to steer clear. We monitor these passes continuously.
