The USS Vicksburg is being towed toward the port of Brownsville, for final dismantling and scrapping. Commissioned in 1992, she served in the United States Navy until being decommissioned in 2024 following a costly program that failed to achieve operational readiness. 🫡

Tag!
#OTD in 2020, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft "tagged" the asteroid Bennu, successfully touching down and capturing this view of its descent, six-second tag, and back-away burn. The samples were successfully returned to Earth.

Eight years ago today, BepiColombo began its journey to Mercury. 🚀
On 20 October 2018, the ESA/JAXA mission lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport aboard Ariane 5, beginning one of the most complex journeys through the inner Solar System.
Since then, BepiColombo has travelled billions of kilometres, using planetary flybys to gradually adjust its trajectory towards the closest planet to the Sun.
Eight years after launch, the journey that began in Kourou is entering its final chapter, bringing BepiColombo closer to the world it was built to explore.
A journey that started with Ariane 5, and continues to push our understanding of Mercury further.

Yesterday's bridge crane lift, start to finish. It took not far short of 13 hours for the strand jacks to pull this beast to the top of Gigabay!
There's been a lot of arcs and sparks on the top of Gigabay tonight. There seems to be some serious electrical issues.
Very slowly and very carefully, Ship 40 has been lifted back to vertical, using the new break-over device and is now seated on a transport ring inside Megabay-2.
Ship 40 has relocated to the ring yard. Come and watch with us to see what happens next.

Testing of the bridge crane in Gigabay has already started on the ground, with the trolley slightly moving this night.
Early in the morning we had some nice views looking inside the Starfactory with crew working on Ship 44's transfer tubes.
Following 237 days in orbit, Crew-12 has returned to Earth on board Crew Dragon. Splashdown confirmed.
A new CADENA presentation has been published with NET dates of November 8 for Starship Flight 15(Starbase) and December 10 for Starship Starlink Group 30-1(likely from KSC)
