"United Launch Alliance ended its live video coverage of the mission a few minutes after the launch at the request of Amazon, which insisted on a level of secrecy normally reserved for spy satellites. Amazon has not publicly released any photos or illustrations of the Kuiper satellites, breaking from the convention established by other Western companies with megaconstellations."
Last night I saw the #SpaceX Falcon 9 second stage de-orbit burn and 'ionospheric hole' from the Starlink 12-10 launch out of Canaveral at 0234 UTC. These phone-camera images were made north of Tucson at 0405/0408Z looking northwest and east, respectively.
My group wasn't aware of the #launch and didn't initially realize what the de-orbit burn was, thinking it might be a launch out of Vandenburg. But it was in the wrong part of the sky. The duration is only maybe ten seconds, and the blob of light is a couple of degrees in size.
The ionospheric hole is a shorter phenomenon, lasting somewhat less than 5 seconds. Under moderately dark skies, it was *distinctly* red to the unaided eye, comparable in intensity to a moderate aurora. It faded out from center to edges, perhaps 3° or so in apparent extent.
To cap it all off, we saw the train of #Starlink objects from the prior night's launch (12-23) fly over at 0344Z.

Spectrum, the first orbital rocket launched from continental Europe, crashed seconds after blast-off.
The Spectrum rocket, developed by German start-up Isar Aerospace, crashed seconds after blast-off from Andoya Spaceport in Nordmela, on Andøya island, Norway. The two-stage rocket fell into the sea
Before this launch, Isar Aerospace had stated that it had little hope of reaching orbit on its first attempt.

Leitfaden Übersicht - Partizipation Wissenschaft Launch
Das Projekt PartWiss lädt herzlich zur öffentlichen Vorstellung des kollaborativ entwickelten Leitfadens Partizipation in der Forschung ein!
1. April, 12:00 unter Zoom (Link zur Anmeldung ist auf der Website)
Als ein Mitglied des Endredaktionsteams kann ich berichten, dass die Zusammenarbeit mit Menschen aus ganz unterschiedlichen Bereichen, die aber alle mit partizipativen Ansätzen in der Forschung arbeiten, sehr spannend und bereichernd war. Philipp Schrögel @schroep vom Projektteam Partwiss hat uns in hervorragender und effizienter Weise durch den Prozess gelotst. Ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Ihn und das Projektteam Partwiss

Sonic boom expected in Santa Barbara and Ventura County at 8:10pm. NASA payload, at least, so not adding to the usual low earth orbit trash swarm. #SonicBoom #VenturaCounty #SantaBarbara #rocket #launch
What I learned in #Windows after almost a year with #Linux on my PC - Alt blocks Space.
I'm using @system76 #Launch Lite keyboard I got on Ubuntu Summit, and I'm pretty fast typer. I also am Polish, so I use Alt + letters to make Polish characters. What I noticed, that sometimes after such letter at the end of the word (ć, ą, ż) on Windows my Space didn't register. Thought the keyboard might be broken.
Nope. Unlike in Linux, in Windows, Alt+Space does nothing. In Linux it's just places Space.

What's the minimum requirement to call #launch infrastructure a "#spaceport" ? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:aeroway%3Dspaceport
The firings at one of the most important US #space #licensing agencies hit at a dire time for a booming US space industry that has long pushed for more nimble & simplified #satellite #regulatory processes…
But sources & individuals across the space industry & US govt…said these #layoffs are likely to trigger major delays in getting #spacecraft approved for #launch.
The #FAA, which signs off on rocket payloads, cannot approve a satellite launch requiring a #NOAA license if it hasn’t obtained it.
