July 5, 2023?
Washington took center stage Wednesday morning for space exploration, as companies that make up the state’s aerospace industry gathered at?Blue Origin headquarters in Kent ?for a “Space Summit.” The event saw NASA Administrator Bill Nelson make his first ever visit to Blue Origin.
Blue Origin has been selected to help develop a lunar lander for NASA’s upcoming moon missions. On Wednesday morning, the company was able to show off a replica of it’s New Shepard space capsule. The capsule has been featured in several launches that have sent people into space.
Blue Origin crew member Barrett Schlegelmich helps train astronauts before they head into space, and knows that the space race as a whole has helped boost job create in Western Washington.

Regulatory uncertainty as commercial human spaceflight takes off
by Jeff Foust
July 5, 2023
WASHINGTON — As two companies prepare to begin or resume commercial suborbital human spaceflights, they are facing uncertainty about how the safety of the people on those flights will be regulated.
Virgin Galactic conducted?its first commercial flight of its VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo vehicle June 29 , flying three Italian payload specialists on a research mission designated Galactic 01. The company plans to begin monthly flights of private astronauts on that vehicle as soon as early August.
It joins Blue Origin, which started flying paying customers on its New Shepard suborbital vehicle in 2021. New Shepard has been grounded after an engine problem on a September 2022 payload-only flight, although Bob Smith, chief executive of Blue Origin, said at a June 6 conference that?the company would be ready to resume flights “within the next few weeks.” ?The company has not provided any further updates on flight plans.

Falcon 9 launches ESA’s Euclid space telescope
by Jeff Foust
July 1, 2023
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A European mission to unravel some of the biggest mysteries in the universe is underway thanks to a launch from an American rocket.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 lifted off at 11:12 a.m. Eastern July 1 from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40. The rocket deployed its payload, the European Space Agency’s Euclid spacecraft, 41 minutes later after placing it on a trajectory to the Earth-sun L-2 Lagrange point. The rocket’s booster, on its second flight after launching the Ax-2 private astronaut mission in May, landed on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
“It was really a fantastic launch,” said ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher at a post-launch briefing. “This is a very important mission for the European Space Agency.”
The Surprising Striver in the World’s Space Business
With at least 140 registered space-tech start-ups, India stands to transform the planet’s connection to the final frontier.
July 4, 2023
When it launched its first rocket in 1963, India was a poor country pursuing the world’s most cutting-edge technology. That projectile, its nose cone wheeled to the launchpad by a bicycle, put a small payload 124 miles above the Earth. India was barely pretending to keep up with the United States and the Soviet Union.
In today’s space race, India has found much surer footing.
In a sleek and spacious rocket hangar an hour south of Hyderabad, a hub to India’s tech start-ups, a crowd of young engineers pored over a tiny, experimental cryogenic thruster engine. The two founders of Skyroot Aerospace, talking between blasts of hissing steam, explained their exhilaration at seeing a rocket of their own design mount India’s first private satellite launch last November. These new thrusters will guide Skyroot’s next one into orbit this year, with a much more valuable payload.
