Andøya, Norway
The German startup Isar Aerospace launches its unmanned Spectrum rocket into orbit. Saturday’s launch from from the Andøya Spaceport marked a breakthrough for Europe, which wants to send satellites into space independently, reducing its reliance on the US amid the shifting global order.Photograph: Isar Aerospace/AFP/Getty Images

The Moon’s planned first spaceport will have no runways, taxiways or gate announcements—NASA’s Gateway will follow an invisible orbit sculpted by the gravity of Earth and the Moon, and engineers have now published the first detailed strategies for keeping visiting spacecraft safely separated while they wait to dock.

#Spain 🇪🇸 tried to get the #European #SpaceAgency to choose the Canary Islands, instead of French Guiana, as #ESA's launch 🚀 base. #ElHierro* is at the same northern latitude as #CapeCanaveral https://en.unav.edu/web/global-affairs/del-aeropuerto-al-spaceport-aumenta-la-lista-de-los-puertos-espaciales

Fox 🦊 (the #photographer) spent part of his career as a #journalist covering the end of the #SpaceShuttle Era, including the landing of Space #Shuttle #Endeavour.
This #photo depicts the #towback of the Endeavour #Orbiter to :nasa: #NASA's Orbiter Processing Facility after #STS-134, the second-to-last Shuttle flight.
Endeavour delivered the #AlphaMagneticSpectrometer02/#AMS02 to the #InternationalSpaceStation/#ISS.
The marshy conditions of #KennedySpaceCenter/#KSC are visible in the lower right, a reminder of the #spaceport's humble origins. And the uncountable number of #alligators🐊 in waiting.
