I'm pretty sure I saw an electric Smart Car on the road last week.

The Skykraft 4 satellites from the TRACERS launch have now been cataloged in 590 km orbits; however the Space Force orbit data for SKYKRAFT 4B (64896) are spurious - they show it in a geotransfer orbit that must actually belong to an Ariane stage fragment

Starbase activities (2025-09-01):

• Aug 31st cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
• Build site: The black LTR1220 crane moves a new work stand into Megabay 1, likely for V3 booster sections. (ViX 1, ViX 2)
• Starship Gazer posts a current photo of the B18.3 test tank in Starfactory.
• cnunez posts recent photos of B15-2 and S39 flap tile progress.
• RGV Aerial post a recent flyover photo of the Massey's test stand.

Florida:

• LC-39A environmental review and permitting: All four steps are now "in progress", with an estimated completion date of 2025-12-03. (Anderson, permits.performance.gov, archive)

This alloy shrinks when heated and expands when cooled—a property known as negative thermal expansion (NTE). For example, ALLVAR Alloy 30 exhibits a -30 ppm/°C coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) at room temperature.

Because it shrinks when other materials expand, ALLVAR Alloy 30 can be used to strategically compensate for the expansion and contraction of other materials. The alloy’s unique NTE property and lack of moisture expansion could enable optic designers to address the stability needs of future telescope structures.

Neat. I didn't know that negative thermal expansion was possible in metals.

"All we know is: It's called the IONIQ 2."

OK, this is kind of clever.

From one panel to the next, three crates become four, four become seven.

Sorry, been a bit busy. Overall, piefed.zip seems like a good choice.

The only caveat is that the .zip team currently blocks UK access, for understandable reasons. Is there a piefed instance we can recommend to UK users? The feddit.uk team haven't set one up, have they?

A fresh pot of rice.

I'll hop over reddit to say that and see where it goes

Thanks for the help! (I assume you're YukarinVal :)

#Falcon9 fairing halves of #Starlink 10-14

Starbase activities (2025-08-31):

• Aug 30th cryo delivery tally. (ViX)
• Quiet Sunday, no significant activities reported.
• The new crane at the launch site is identified as likely an LR1300. (TrackingTheSB)
• RGV Aerial post a recent zoomed-in flyover photo of Pad 2.

Nominal liftoff, booster landing, and Starlink deploy.

I feel like this question is better suited for !shittyaskscience@lemmy.zip.
