Distance of @astroscale_HQ ADRAS-J from the H2A stage, based on TLEs. Note the error on the TLEs is at least 1 km so most of the details here are likely spurious, but we can conclude they stay within 1 km for past 8 days
📢 NEWS: Pics or it didn't happen. Behold, the world’s first image of space debris captured through rendezvous and proximity operations during our ADRAS-J mission. #ShowtheWayADRASJ astroscale.com/astroscale-unv…
The Chang'e-5 orbiter was testing out lunar DRO (distant retrograde orbit) when I last heard of it in Mar 2023. Anyone know its current (or at least more recent) status? @AJ_FI ? @coastal8049 ?
A planned ISS orbit correction was performed tonight at 02:35 UTC to maintain the station’s orbit altitude, using the #ProgressMS26 engines. The orbit altitude was increased for 1 km.
On the ISS, astronauts Kononenko and Chub carried out spacewalk VKD-62 on Apr 25, installing the Kvartz-M and TKK-KM experiments on the exterior of Poisk and deploying an antenna panel on the Nabor-miniRSA radar. The Poisk airlock was depressurized for 4h 55m.
LAUNCH at 1259 UTC Apr 25 of the Shenzhou 18 spaceship carrying Ye Guangfu, Li Guangsu and Li Cong. Shenzhou 18 docked with the nadir port on the Tianhe module at 1932 UTC.
At the end of its third 11-day-period highly elliptical Earth orbit, the upper stage from the Queqiao-2 launch is thought to have reentered over the S Atlantic at around 0700 UTC Apr 24.
Jonathan's Space Report No. 832 now published at planet4589.org/jsr.html
LAUNCH at 2232 UTC Apr 23 of Electron flight 47 from Mahia pad 1B, New Zealand with Korea KAIST's NeonSat-1 imaging satellite and NASA-Ames' ACS3 solar sail tech test
LAUNCH at 2217 UTC Apr 23 of Starlink Group 6-53 from Canaveral pad 40

Asked by George Sowers what is the top risk for Artemis II, Kshatriya said it's the heat shield and the integrated capability of the thermal protection system.
Amit Kshatriya: still trying to understand fundamental physics of what caused unexpected damage to the Orion heat shield on Artemis I. Top NASA leaders made clear we're not just to come up with flight rationale, but understand physics and then determine what can we tolerate.
This is not great for Artemis II happening in September 2025.
