Episode Transcript ULA Atlas V Amazon Leo launchLet's start with the internet satellites. Yesterday was a big day for connectivity in orbit. United Launch Alliance sent up an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral carrying 29 Amazon Leo internet satellites. The launch went smoothly, and now those satellites are in their proper orbits. This brings Amazon's total constellation to 270 operational satellites. What makes this particularly impressive is that ULA actually set a new company record for turnaround time at Launch Complex 41. They launched just 23 days after their previous mission from the same pad, beating their own record by nearly three days. Ariane 6 launches Amazon satellitesBut the satellite launches didn't stop there. On the same day, Arianespace rolled out another Ariane 6 rocket from French Guiana, and this one was carrying 32 more Amazon Leo satellites. We're talking about a massive effort to build out this global internet constellation. The Ariane 6 in its heavy configuration with four solid rocket boosters lifted off successfully, deploying all 32 satellites into low Earth orbit. This is the second dedicated Ariane mission for Amazon's constellation, and it shows how multiple launch providers are working together to make this mega-constellation a reality. Progress cargo arrives at ISSWhile all this satellite activity was happening, there was also cargo drama unfolding. A Russian Progress spacecraft docked with the International Space Station, delivering nearly three tons of supplies to the crew orbiting Earth. The Progress MS-34, also known as Progress 95, launched a couple of days earlier and finally rendezvoused with the station. Everything went according to plan, and now the ISS has fresh provisions for the weeks ahead. Asteroid flyby Earth safe distanceNow, if you've been paying attention to the news, you might have heard that two asteroids were passing by Earth today. Here's the good news: they stayed well clear of us. Both asteroids, designated 2026 HJ3 and 2026 HR, are roughly the size of commercial aircraft, but they passed at distances of nearly 4 million miles. To put that in perspective, that's about sixteen times farther than the Moon. NASA tracks these objects routinely, and there was never any risk of impact. It's a good reminder that while space can seem peaceful, there's actually quite a bit of traffic up there. Falcon Heavy launch postponed weatherAnd finally, there was a launch that didn't happen. SpaceX had planned to send its Falcon Heavy rocket skyward on Monday carrying the final ViaSat-3 communications satellite, but weather had other ideas. The launch was scrubbed in the final minute due to poor conditions. The Falcon Heavy, SpaceX's most powerful operational rocket, will try again when conditions improve. It would have been the first flight of this behemoth in over a year and a half, so the team will want to get it right when they do launch.
