@thedailyhistorian.bsky.socialYears later, Zhai would return to space aboard Shenzhou 13 and perform additional spacewalks. But September 27, 2008 remains the day he became the first Chinese person to step outside a spacecraft while in orbit.

@spaceflightpedia.comA 1966 estimate said Alouette 1 could stay in orbit for 1,000 years. It worked for 10 years and 1 day.
Launched September 29, 1962, it made Canada the third nation to build its own satellite. Switched off September 30, 1972, it is still in orbit.
@spaceflightpedia.comFalcon 1 failed on its first three launches, in 2006, 2007 and August 2008. On September 28, 2008, Flight 4 carried RatSat, a 165 kg dummy spacecraft, making Falcon 1 the first privately funded and developed, fully liquid-propelled rocket to reach orbit.
@spaceflightpedia.comOwen Garriott released garden spiders Arabella and Anita on Skylab 3. Arabella spun the first web in weightlessness. The mission splashed down September 25, 1973, after 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes, its crew logging 858 Earth orbits, a crew record at the time. #Skylab3 #SpaceHistory

@uapdrop.bsky.socialNew study of 1950 Palomar sky-plate transients hints at car-sized objects in orbit long before satellites, reshaping our view of pre-spaceflight Earth. What was in orbit before Sputnik? #Palomar #Astronomy #UAP #SpaceHistory
@orbitalradar.bsky.social31,474 tracked objects orbit us now.

@spaceflightpedia.comA three-person Apollo command module was refitted to carry five people home. In August 1973, thrusters failed on Skylab 3's Apollo spacecraft. CSM 119 got two extra couches, but the rescue never launched: the crew finished with two working thruster quads. #Skylab #Apollo #SpaceHistory
@playdeltav.bsky.social68 years ago today: Soviet Space Program launched Luna-1a on Vostok-L 8K72.
The flight is recorded as failure.

@spaceflightpedia.comSix seconds before their booster exploded, Soyuz's launch escape system pulled Vladimir Titov and Gennadi Strekalov away from the pad. The capsule hit fourteen to seventeen g and landed about 4 km away. Both men survived with bruises.
@orbitalradar.bsky.social31,466 objects orbit us as we gaze back to ancient galaxies, shaping our cosmic theories. These early galaxies hold the keys to our universe's history.

@manavpod.bsky.socialPoint Nemo is the loneliest places on the planet.
It sits 2,688 km from any land.
The extreme isolation makes it the preferred final destination for retired spacecraft.
@mabelquill.bsky.socialGalileo’s Final Dive On September 21, 2003, NASA deliberately sent Galileo into Jupiter, ending a mission that transformed knowledge of the giant planet and its moons. #TodayInHistory #MabelQuill #GalileoMission #Jupiter #SpaceHistory #HistoryTok #HistoryFacts #LearnHistory #fyp
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialFUN FACT: Apollo spacesuits were sewn by hand, not machines. Seamstresses from a lingerie company crafted them, balancing 21 layers with precision finer than a millimetre. Soft fabric triumphed over rigid metal.
