  6. "Launch Dress Rehearsal Complete Ahead of NASA Roman Space Telescope Liftoff" by US🇺🇸 National Aeronautics & Space Administration #NASA - #RomanSpaceTelescope🔭 is still scheduled for August 30 launch. The launch dress rehearsal followed all the procedures for launch. This did not include propellant loading of the #SpaceX #FalconHeavy rocket🚀, which is tested separately without the satellite. (Lesson learned from 2016.) After launch, 100 days to reach L2. science.nasa.gov/blogs/roman/2 #astronomy #space

    Only #SpaceX’s #Falcon9 and #FalconHeavy, and #ULA’s #Vulcan rocket are certified for Lane 2 missions. There are more launch companies qualified for Lane 1 contracts.

    In April, Space Systems Command said it had identified 25 additional Lane 2 missions on top of the 54 included in the original contract just one year before. Now, the #SpaceForce is tripling 📈 the maximum value for the Lane 1 contract.

    If #SpaceX would provide a #Starlink network (#Marslink) around #Mars, you'd call it an "uncrewed commercial" launch, right ? Similar for other launch providers
