SpaceX is ramping up for Starship Flight 9, with Ship 35 engine-integrated and Booster 14 nearly flight-ready. The launch siteโ€™s chopstick arms have undergone dynamic stress tests, while pad upgrades and flame trench work at Pad B continue. Notably, SpaceX is shifting to a swappable orbital launch mount for faster turnarounds. Over in McGregor, the first sighting of a Raptor V3 Vacuum hints at major upper-stage improvements. Meanwhile, structural upgrades at KSCโ€™s LC-39A suggest Mechazilla booster-catching is headed to the East Coast.๐Ÿ”ฅ

The International Space Station saw nonstop actionโ€”from a major resupply mission to warnings about its future. Meanwhile, Soyuz MS-26 safely returned three astronauts after nearly 220 days in orbit.๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ
