Guinguin se prend pour un pilote maintenant. On a essayé nos scaphandres une dernière fois avant le retour, pour une ultime vérification. Il y a une légende urbaine qui raconte l’histoire d’un astronaute qui ne rentrait plus dans sa combinaison après avoir abusé de la musculation pendant ses 6 mois de mission, et non ce n’était pas moi en 2017 💪 Pas forcément facile à enfiler, mais on s’entraide. 😁
Guinguin wants to fly the ship now. We tried on our spacesuits one last time to check that everything still fits! There’s an urban legend of an astronaut who worked out so much on ISS that he didn’t fit in his spacesuit (or in his custom-moulded) seat for return… it’s not going to be me… I hope 💪. As getting into the spacesuits is not easy, and maybe because it will be one of the last times we are weightless for a long time the pictures came out fun.

Liftoff!!
At 11:12am (ET) Saturday (7/1), the ESA Euclid mission began its million mile journey atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
More launch pics: SpaceX photographer Ashish Sharma's images are always great, from spacesuit portraits to rocket launches!
Ces flammes sont la raison pour laquelle un décollage de fusée, ça se regarde plutôt DE LOIN… ou alors, il vaut mieux être à l’autre bout de l’engin Superbe photo (comme d’habitude) d’Ashish Sharma.

94x30-seconds plus 1x199-seconds.
At 1:18am (ET) on Tuesday, August 7, #SpaceX successfully launched the #Telkom4 #MerahPutih satellite atop a previously flown #Block5 #Falcon9 rocket. This was the first reuse of a Block5, the rocket that is designed to be reused many times.
It was a beautiful night for a launch and the stars were shining brightly so not surprisingly, I did another star-trail + rocket streak composite.
This shows 47 minutes of stars marching around the North star, and 199 seconds of the rocket as it thundered toward space for a successful payload delivery and a successful landing aboard the "Of Course I Still Love You," which was positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
Other details:
94x 30-seconds (ISO500, f4) plus 1x199 seconds (ISO100, f22)

While Mercury was crossing in front of Sun, a SpaceX launch was happening. A second batch of Starlink satellites were launched into orbit. There were people asking - is it possible to catch these two together in one shot? The answer was "close to impossible!". Scouting and preparing beforehand, in hope to be the one who get this impossible shot. And it was very close to happen - instead of the rocket crossing in front of Sun its exhaust was caught. Nevertheless, it's very cool, considering how tough it was, requiring proper preparation and very quick decision making seconds before!

J-5: À Baïkonour, l'équipage n'est pas censé voir sa fusée avant le jour du décollage... mais ici la tradition est différente ! Nous avons eu la chance d'arriver au Kennedy Space Center au moment précis où le Falcon 9 était verticalisé sur le pas de tir. C'est toujours impressionnant de le voir de si près, comme en témoignent nos nombreuses photos et selfies
.
L-5: In Baikonur the crew is not supposed to see their rocket before launch, but this is a tradition we don’t have here! We were lucky enough to arrive at NASA's Kennedy Space Center the exact time the rocket was erected into the vertical position on the launch pad. Always impressive to see it from up close... impressive enough for our crew to snap lots of photos and selfies!

At 8:02pm (ET) Wednesday night, SpaceX launched the Inspiration4 mission and a crew of all-civilian astronauts to space.
It. Was. Amazing.
Godspeed, Inspiration4!

If you are of a certain age, Lego's 'Classic Space' them magically landed in your childhood bringing the dream of space exploration to your toy box.
For this reason, the first generation of Classic Space - the blue and grey theme of 1978-1979 is considered the gold standard of Lego historic themes.
I am of that age.
So is Elon Musk - visionary, entrepreneur and space technologist.
I suspect that Musk is probably a fan of classic space - and I think I can see clear hints of the shapes present in the theme in his electric-powered Tesla Cybertruck, launched last week.
Sure, it was all splendid in shiny stainless steel - just like another of my childhood icons, the Back to the Future DeLorean.
In the back of mind though, during that somewhat bizarre launch event, my thoughts ran to "Maybe this is the Mars rover, and not the road car truck", then "I would probably look pretty cool dressed as Lego Classic Space."
So, here it is Elon's SpaceX Cybertruck.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard is seen as it is raised into a vertical position on the launch pad at Launch Complex 39A as preparations continue for the Crew-2 mission, Friday, April 16, 2021, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission is the second crew rotation mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide are scheduled to launch at 6:11 a.m. ET on Thursday, April 22, from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.

In this photo you can see the first stage booster separating for its return trip to Cape Canaveral, FL. where it landed safely on 11-09-23.
I haven’t done a Tiny-Earth image in 2 years or so. I know some of you have missed them more than others...
This is from my pad camera placed in the high grass at LC-40 for the Monday morning SpaceX Starlink launch.
Keen-eyed viewers will see the somewhat famous Starlink mourning dove, flying away from the fury, and it’s to that bird I dedicate this image.
More importantly, I give great thanks to Scott Schilke and Mike Howard for retrieving and handling my cameras after launch.

10-seconds: That's the time elapsed between the first & last frames as the #SpaceX #Falcon9 rocket lifts 15,600kg (the heaviest payload for SpaceX thus far) of #Starlink gear to orbit.
(Pics: me)
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB, California. On Board were satellites for a reconnaissance satellite constellation built by SpaceX and Northrop Grumman for the National Reconnaissance Office to provide imaging and other reconnaissance capabilities.
The SpaceX Dragon craft is poised and ready for release from the International Space Station on May 21. This was SpaceX's sixth resupply mission to the space station and returned about 3,100 pounds of experiment samples and equipment back down to Earth.
