NASA has just provided the timeline for the return of #Crew11: https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/2026/01/09/nasa-spacex-set-target-date-for-crew-11s-return-to-earth/ - Wednesday, Jan. 14, 20:30 UTC Hatch closing, 22:00 Undocking, Thursday, Jan. 15, 7:50 Deorbit burn, 8:40 UTC Splashdown.

As NASA moves closer to launch of the #Artemis II test flight, the agency soon will roll its #SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft to the launch pad for the first time at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to begin final integration, testing, and launch rehearsals: #VehicleAssemblyBuilding to Launch Pad 39B.

The 39 satellites of the Twilight mission are now in orbit, after the launch at 13:44 UTC: see https://www.spacex.com/launches/twilight for the deployment timeline (Pandora should be the last of the three space observatories, at 16:12 UTC).
