Celestial Space Agency @CelestialSpace0

The Celestial Space Agency board has decided to resume annual funding of Pulsar Space Agency. PSA operations have started up again and a rework of their testing complex is underway. We are currently funding Pulsar with 5% (€42,500,000) of our annual budget (€850,000,000)

A small motor is fired into a steel plate to test the endurance of the material used on the launch mount and see how it survives under launch conditions.

Successful static fire of the K-2 rocket from the Kuiper Launch Facility Pad 01! The engines fired full duration and a data report will be coming out in the next few hours.

We're currently under 15 minutes away from static firing the Karman Two rocket from our launchpad in Vlieland!

Sections of the tower for our first VMLP are in the final stages of assembly. This launch platform will allow rockets such as the K2 from @karmanaerospace to fly from our site in Vlieland.

Might construct a launch site in Australia. There’s a need for Kgroup sites outside of Europe

We've begun receiving data from Newton, it's two solar panels have deployed and it will begin testing it's onboard hardware before it begins analyzing the lunar surface.

Payload separation. This completes the second flight of Vesta and the first time a Newton Small Satellite has been delivered to a stable orbit!

Stage 3 separation and ignition.

Fairings have been deployed

Stage 1 burnout and Stage 2 ignition, vehicle is performing nominally.

Liftoff of the Virbius Space Vesta rocket carrying the Celestial Space Newton Satellite to analyze and photograph our closest neighbour!

Not much activity this week. Still working on getting the new articles ready for flight. Currently targeting late March to early April.

It will be a clean transition into the second design, a majority of V2 is the same as V1 which eliminates the need for ground certifications. Flight 1 of Osiris will certify the second version and will be renamed from OFT-1 to Osiris Cert-1.

Due to continued manufacturing and hardware issues, Osiris V1 will not be flown on flight 1. Version 2 of Osiris will take its spot, the current articles of the original stack will be dismantled. We have gained lots of knowledge from V1 and re-certification is not required.

Osiris Flight 1 Update Due to recurring script and design issues with V1, I decided to discontinue its use and replace it with V2. Consequently, the version 1 Osiris stack will not be flown.

The booster coming down for inspections before Flight 1
