NASA held a media teleconference on the CFT Starliner flight August 14th. Looking for a flight readiness review toward end of next week at the earliest. After explaining the process leading to the FRR they really didn't have a hard timeline for us. An emphasis was made that this is a test flight. No decision has been made as to if Butch and Suni will return on Starliner and could spend 8 months on station. Nothing has really changed as to probability of using Dragon to return the astronauts but that probability was not defined. While there is no hard date to make decisions by, it is becoming a priority for scheduling of other activities, arrivals and departures at the ISS. It is unusual if not unheard of for a FRR to occur mid mission however SpaceX also had a similar review just called by another name on their Demo-2 mission.
Basic summary, they sound like they are about a week or so away from a decision and plan to move forward. It is sounding more and more like Butch and Suni will stay as crew on the ISS and Starliner will return empty although that was not stated. As per many media conferences the same questions were asked and not answered and most comments were vague. This is because they are not ready to announce a decision of the plan, it is not an indication they don't have a plan and path they are working on. It is normal for this. Last week the press asked for weekly conferences so this one was scheduled. We will get answers as soon as decisions are finalized.
Sometimes it seems media ask questions just so their bosses know they are working, we try not to be like that here at HKPMSN.
The question was raised on how the process has changed since the Columbia and Challenger accidents and yes, the process has changed and it has slowed as a result. Decisions are made based on input from all aspects and departments and the chance is there to come forward without a hard deadline.
We feel the decision has been made to return the astronauts on Dragon and they are weighing all info to see if it changes their minds. The crew will not return on Starliner unless a lot of people are convinced it is safe and the risk assessment has been thorough. It will end up being a decision by NASA administrator Bill Nelson to either make the decision or to trust the plan that is brought toward him. Boeing, Starliner and NASA have a lot on the line here to complete this mission with return crewed flight but they can not unduly risk the loss of life to complete the mission.
We reported on launch day that we questioned the decision to continue to the station and not abort mission and return. There could of been issues at that time unknown to us that made the flight to the station the best option and it was not an attempt to complete the mission.

We are counting down to SpaceX Falcon 9 RTF tonight at 10:45pm PDT (NET) with Starlink 10-9 from KSC FL. The FAA has cleared Falcon 9 for flight satisfied with the mishap report and corrections. An O2 sense line fatigued and cracked leaking O2 on the second stage. This "sense" line was a redundant sensing system and not related to flight safety so for now at least it has been removed from all remaining stage 2's. SpaceX has an ambitious plan to launch 3 Starlink missions in less than 26 hrs starting tonight. A live feed of tonights launch is expected to start approx T-5:00.

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft.

Yesterdays SpaceX Starlink 9-3 flight had an anomaly of the second stage and the payload failed to make proper orbit. Seeing reports of a possible RUD of the second stage engine upon second relight attempt. This morning I am seeing reports a mishap investigation has been ordered by the FAA. This is common and will temporarily ground the Falcon 9 fleet until corrective actions are reviewed. SpaceX has an outstanding safety and success record and things happen. More than likely a failed part in a very proven reliable system. The payload of Starlink satellites were deployed into a lower than intended orbit and SpaceX is working to raise them but it is a challenge and we should know soon if attempts were successful. Falcon has successfully launched and delivered payloads 335 consecutive times. The Falcon 9 second stages are expendable and this was not reflown hardware. SpaceX will identify the cause, inspect existing inventory and make corrective if need actions, then the FAA will recertify the Falcon 9 system for flight. Stay tuned for further information and announcement when the Falcon 9 will resume flight. These reports are preliminary and more news will follow in the future.

Starlink 9-2 with 20 satellites (13 direct to cell) successfully launched tonight from VSFB CA at 8:47pm PDT in a spectacular post sunset display at stage separation. This was visible from Salinas Ca to Ensenada Mexico and into Arizona to the east. These images were captured approx. 50 miles NNW of SLC-4E. The last image is a composite of 12 - 15 sec images.

Yesterdays Starship Flight 4 was amazing to watch the whole way to both splashdowns. They have some work to do especially with re entry protection but the ship held up despite extensive melting of at least one flap. Each flight has surpassed the previous and Elon is still talking about trying a capture of the booster on flight 5. That will require another license modification though. They can under the current license repeat this flight. We should know in a few days what the plan is and whether there was OLP damage. Here is SpaceX's update on the flight 4 taken from their website.

SpaceX launched B-1062 tonight from Florida on its 20th flight and landing. It wasn't long ago when it was hoped for 10 flight before "substantial overhaul" , B1062 made its 20th flight on a 28 day turn around, not much time for substantial anything. They also have 2 in the stable with 19 flights and ready for their turn at 20. Falcon 9 continues to break its own records on reliability and reuse.

Elon just posted this video from the OLIT of Starship IFT-2 launch.

SpaceX released this video from a fairing on the ViaSat 3 mission re entering the atmosphere at 15x the speed of sound. This was the fastest re entry they have attempted so far. Absolutely beautiful footage.

B1062 13th landing

On JPSS 2 is a secondary ride along payload. LOFTID is a test of an inflatable heat shield. Once deployed LOFTID will re enter and splashdown near Hawaii for recovery, hopefully. LOFTID will continuously download data in flight and there is a back up Data Recorded that will eject from the shield creating potential 3 data redundancy should the shield get recovered intake (hopefully)

I will have more of these later but for now...here you go, almost can feel what it would be like.
