The \"Virginia is for Launch Lovers\" mission lifted off 18:00\nEST on January 24th from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 2 (LC-2) at Virginia\nSpace's Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA's Wallops Flight\nFacility. The mission deployed three satellites to a 550km orbit for leading\nradio frequency geospatial analytics provider HawkEye 360. Rocket Lab has\nnow successfully deployed a total of 155 satellites to orbit from the\nCompany's three launch pads across the U.S. and New Zealand.\n\nThe successful launch from LC-2 marks the beginning of a new era of\nresponsive launch capability for small satellites from U.S. soil. Built with\nsupport from Virginia Space, the Commonwealth of Virginia and NASA Wallops\nFlight Facility, Rocket Lab Launch Complex 2 is designed to serve the\nresponsive space needs of commercial, civil, defense, and national security\ncustomers, supporting up to 12 missions per year.

This is a major milestone in any rockets march towards a\nfirst launch, especially for a super heavy lift monster like Starship, which\nwill have more than twice the thrust of the Saturn V (heres a scale\ncomparison to the minuscule Falcon 9). SpaceX loaded 4.5 million kg of\ncryogenic propellant into the fully reusable, two-stage rocket (causing it\nto shrink noticeably) and performed a countdown as it would on launch day\n(including some massive venting). A 33-engine static fire is now the next\ndramatic step toward an orbital launch, although how soon that might happen\nis unknown. (ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information)\n\n+ Next-gen propulsion incoming? Yesterday, NASA announced a new\ncollaboration with long-time partner DARPA to develop a Nuclear Thermal\nPropulsion (NTP) system and spacecraft. NTP promises 3x or more improvements\nin Isp over traditional chemical rockets by heating a low molecular mass\npropellant (like hydrogen) to high temps using a reactor and then expelling\nthe expanded propellant out a rocket nozzle (this achieves high exhaust\nvelocities while needing no oxidizer, saving mass). DARPA will continue to\ndevelop DRACO, an orbital and cislunar NTP-powered experimental spacecraft\n(cf. Issue No. 170) as part of this collaboration, and the agencies are\ntargeting an in-space demonstration of the propulsion system as soon as\n2027. The demonstration spacecraft could be used as low as 700 km or as high\nas 2,000 km, but the long-term vision is cislunar space and Mars. This\ncollaboration is separate from other recent NTP projects like the DOEs\ninitiative. (ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the above information)\n\n+ A truck-sized asteroid that suddenly loomed out of the darkness a few days\nago with the Earth in its sights then sailed harmlessly past us on Thursday,\nspace scientists said. Asteroid 2023 BU whizzed past without incident and\nback out into the blackness of space. The rock, which was spotted for the\nfirst time on Saturday by an amateur stargazer in Crimea, came closest to\nthe southern tip of South America at around 0029 GMT Friday, according to\nscientists who were tracking it.
