  2. StubHub look out! There actually is a resale market for Rocket Launches ! I did not know that!

    Getting your wiz-bang satellite onto a launch vehicle (rocket) is not as simple as calling up SpaceX and arranging a date.

    There is a network of rideshare brokers, launch aggregators, or mission management providers who have a LOT of power and control over what and when satellites get launched by the launch providers - aka SpaceX etc.

    Satellite operators can get squeezed between direct booking with a launch provider and the brokers. So much so, regulatory bodies (FTC) are beginning to investigate how traditional antitrust laws apply to orbital launch capacity. satnews.com/2026/05/31/if-you- #Satellites #Rockets #LaunchVehicle #RideShare #LaunchBroker #Monopoly #FTC #Regulation #SpaceRegulation #SpaceX #Space #CommercialSpace

  14. The #engine compartment of a #Delta II launch #vehicle.
    The #DeltaII’s main #engine was a #Rocketdyne RS-27 #rocket engine derived from engines going back to before the Saturn I.
    The #RS27 can be supplemented by up to 9 Solid Rocket Boosters.
    Three #SRB’s are installed on this display of the last Delta II #LaunchVehicle remaining. It’s on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex.
