Welcome back to TerTech News Now! Today we have some exciting updates in the world of spaceflight. And unfortunately, it looks like Astra’s Rocket 3 has been terminated at Max-Q after powersliding off the launch pad! Ow, that hurts! But hopefully the next Rocket 3 launch goes well. But we also had a more successful launch, the CRS-23 mission! And what’s even cooler about it is that this was also the first landing on the new A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship! The CRS-23 carried a new robotic arm for the Bishop airlock, and the new arm will test new technologies on the ISS. And that’s all of the important launches, but in the SR2 world, ISX and Rocket Science Co have both launched batches of satellites for the Atmospheric Satellite Reconnaissance System or ASRS! ASRS is a program by TerTech that aims to provide better information about weather around the world. And meanwhile, the TerTech team has departed RSC LPC-1 for the desert airbase where our space operations are worked on. The team has worked on everything needed for the launch of the Baguette Space Telescope. TerTech is now preparing to shuttle employees between the desert airbase and LPC-1. And that’s a wrap for today’s news coverage! See you next time for another spaceflight update.

Or maybe less than a year! Last year there were two launches, remember, @DrexxVolv?
