The German government supports a mobile satellite launch plan in the North Sea.
The German Ministry of Transport has approved €870,000 for a planned offshore spaceport.
This will enable the German Offshore Spaceport Alliance (GOSA) to develop a “holistic” solution for the spaceport for primarily commercial orbital and suborbital launches by the end of September.
Jeff Bezos' #BlueOrigin space venture launches a new #NewShepard rocket ship on an uncrewed certification flight in preparation for boosting its capacity to send customers on #suborbital #space trips. A dozen payloads were flown, including a set of mini-monoliths for a premium edition of "2001: A Space Odyssey." https://www.geekwire.com/2024/blue-origin-new-new-shepard-uncrewed-test/ #2001

It really feels like the end of an era with #SpaceX's #Suborbital pad B being ripped apart.
The final static fire of a ship at the Gateway to Mars huh?
This has been a colossal week!
Check it!

#SaxaVord #Spaceport : The first lift-off will be a #SubOrbital #rocket made by #HyImpulse 
, expected around 
October 2023. In April 2024, #RocketFactory aims to achieve the first-ever #orbital #satellite 
launch from a #LaunchPad called Fredo.
#SaxaVord will build a total of five #LaunchPads, with the site able to take #rockets up to 35 metres long

"Above 30 km is too high for #balloons
and too low for #satellites . Some #researchers refer to it as the #ignore-o-sphere. We know it has large implications on #climate models and #weather

"By the time #BlueOrigin was created in 2000, #Amazon had already earned him several billion. #SpaceX 
came about two years later when #Musk successfully sold #PayPal for $160 million. The turtle’s pace 
made #NewShepard #BlueOrigin’s only real achievement in 20 years. A #suborbital booster with a cargo-passenger capsule starts vertically and rises to a height of 100km" https://orbitaltoday.com/2022/04/19/blue-origin-vs-spacex-the-hard-race-to-space-leadership
