A batch of 34 satellites for Starlink mega-constellation – SpaceX’s project for space-based Internet communication system. BlueWalker 3 is a rideshare test satellite for AST SpaceMobile’s planned space-based cellular broadband network.
Beautiful night for the SpaceX launch with 51 more Starlink broadband internet satellites and the Spaceflight built Sherpa-LTC orbital transfer vehicle carrying Boeing's Varuna Technology Demonstration Mission (Varuna-TDM) to test broadband V-band communications.
In this day and age of ridesharing options widely available in most countries around the world, one might wonder on the viability of the traditional and ubiquitous taxi service. A car service for hire is said to pre-date the automobile, back to early 17th century - or the Early Modern period of Europe where horse and carriage were the vehicle of choice.

I took this photo with one of my cameras set up at the beach at Sebastian Inlet State Park. This long exposure was the second shot with this camera and was taken immediately after the initial launch. It shows an example of what some refer to as the “twilight phenomena”. This can occur when a launch takes place shortly before sunrise, as in this case, or shortly after sunset in the case of launches from the west coast. Here a SpaceX Falcon 9 is delivering 58 Starlink satellites, and three Rideshare satellites into orbit as well as returning the first stage for landing. The launch took place at 5:21 AM which was less than an hour before sunrise. The sky is still dark but sunlight is reaching the 60 to 90 miles (ca. 145 km) altitude where the satellites and first stage are being released. Chemicals released as the rocket and satellites burn fuel freeze at this high altitude and then the sunlight is refracted at different wavelengths creating beautiful and colorful displays.
Vega-C VV21 with LARES-2 ready for launch as the gantry is being retracted on 13 July 2022 at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
Vega-C brings a new level of performance to ESA's launch family. With new first and second stages and an uprated fourth stage, Vega-C increases performance to about 2.3 t in a reference 700 km polar orbit, from the 1.5 t capability of its predecessor, Vega.
Vega-C features a new, more powerful first stage, P120C, based on Vega’s P80. Atop that is a new second stage, Zefiro-40, and then the same Zefiro-9 third stage as used on Vega.
The re-ignitable upper stage is also improved. AVUM+ has increased liquid propellant capacity, to deliver payloads to multiple orbits depending on mission requirements and to allow for longer operational time in space, to enable extended missions.
The P120C motor will do double service, with either two or four units acting as strap-on boosters for Ariane 6. Sharing this component streamlines industrial efficiency and improves cost-effectiveness of both launchers.
With its larger main stages and bigger fairing – which doubles the payload volume compared to Vega – Vega-C measures 34.8 m high, nearly 5 m taller than Vega.
The new launcher configuration delivers a significant improvement in launch system flexibility. Vega-C can orbit larger satellites, two main payloads or can accommodate various arrangements for rideshare missions. ESA’s upcoming Space Rider return-to-Earth vehicle will be launched to orbit on Vega-C.

SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, FL. carrying 48 satellites that will join the Starlink mega-constellation. The rocket was also carrying 2 Blacksky Earth Observation Satellites as part of their rideshare program. The streak in the lower left of the image, just above the water, was made when the first stage fired 3 of it's 9 engines to begin the decent before landing. The 15 story tall first stage landed safely on the drone ship, "A Shortfall of Gravitas", which was in the Atlantic, 400 miles to the northeast of Cape Canaveral. It was the ninth time that this particular first stage had been used. This image was shot from Vero Beach, FL.

SpaceX launched the Transporter-3 rideshare mission to a sun-synchronous orbit with 105 small microsatellites and nanosatellites for commercial and government customers Thurday morning at 10:25 a.m. EST. The first stage booster B1058-10 completed its' 10th flight with a RTLS landing at LZ-1 on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched three new missions Wednesday to investigate the Sun’s influence across the solar system. At 7:30 a.m. EDT, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida carrying the agency’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe), Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, and NOAA’s SWFO-L1 (Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1) spacecraft.
Earlier this year, IMAP underwent testing at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. At Marshall, IMAP was exposed to extreme temperature changes inside one of our thermal vacuum chambers - simulating the harsh conditions it will encounter in space.
The IMAP mission will chart the boundary of the heliosphere, a bubble inflated by the solar wind that shields our solar system from galactic cosmic rays — a key protection that helps make our planet habitable. In addition, the spacecraft will sample and measure solar wind particles streaming outward from the Sun, as well as energetic particles streaming inward from the boundary of our solar system and beyond.

Dog is my... as captured by Kathryn Sindell August 2017... I think, and dog is not telling. This is not a recomended place for doggy.
I'm not always the sort of person who bemoans urban change and redevelopment, but it has to be said that the destruction of Chicago's industrial heritage at the hands of developers- especially in the mushrooming West Loop and Near West Side, and especially over the course of the last decade- has been intense and wanton.
Granted, many of the meatpacking concerns and wholesale warehouses the area used to be known for have been adaptively reused in their new roles as tech offices, (Google's Chicago headquarters in the old Fulton Market Cold Storage warehouse is a good example of this) high-end restaurants and bars, co-working spaces, condos and the like, but not all are recognizable after their transformations, and the ADM mill complex at Racine Avenue, long a landmark on the Near West Side, has not even been lucky enough to undergo such renovation.
The first parts of the complex originally opened as the Eckhart & Swan Milling Company in 1897- the "ghost" of the original company name could still be seen in very faded paint on the top floor of the first building until demolition began. The grain elevators were built in 1927 and expanded in 1948. After a few corporate restructurings over the years, Archer Daniels Midland took over the mill in 1990, and operated it until the combination of the opening of a new complex downstate in Mendota, coupled with the rising real estate value of the area, caused ADM to seek to divest itself of the mill. The property was sold to development company Sterling Bay (who has been behind the redevelopment of much of the West Loop, and is also the owner and developer of the Lincoln Yards project) in 2018. Demolition of the historic mill complex began in February, and doesn't appear to be sparing anything.
Sterling Bay had initially talked about constructing a new Metra station on the site to serve their new development, but this idea seems to have floundered. Rideshare cars, Teslas, bikes and scooters will soon replace the grain trucks that swarmed around the facility- and the Norfolk Southern freight job that was the the raison d'etre of the last active section of the Pennsylvania Railroad "Panhandle" line in the area has since departed. At least the heavy Metra and Amtrak traffic will still pass the site of one of the last heavy industries on Chicago's near West Side.
