Hi Bluesky! I'm Harry, a satellite imagery nerd covering current and past spaceflight-related events (sometimes other topics too.)

I run spacefromspace.com, a site where you can explore satellite images past and present for free.

I'll be sharing cool images and some stories along the way here! 🛰️
A very high resolution satellite image of NASA's Space Launch System rocket on Launch Complex 39B in November 2022. An Umbra synthetic aperture radar satellite image (with annotations) showing construction at China's Wenchang Space Launch Site. A very high off-nadir KH-9 HEXAGON declassified satellite image of Kennedy Space Center, Florida. A declassified CORONA spy satellite image of Baikonur Cosmodrome in 1968, including an N1 rocket standing on its launch pad.

A fantastic new high res satellite capture of the Space Coast launch pads from @spacefromspace.com 🚀

🔎 Zoom, pan around, and see all the detail from this massive map: soaratlas.com/maps/139319

Yeah, there's almost no activity on Sentinel-2 images soaratlas.com/satellites/s...

So I'm waiting to see something there before spending large amounts of money for high res images 😅

They did an extension at some point, but that would have been several years ago now.

Blue Origin's LC-36, perfectly lined up to this perspective, sits ready to support the testing and launch of New Glenn's second flight.

Expecting rollout soon.

Stoke's LC-14 continues to get ready to support its first launch of Nova. I suspect the lines in the trees to the left of the complex (from this perspective) may be an outline for an eventual landing zone.

Relativity continues to upgrade LC-16 to be ready to support Terran R's first launch.

The difference between the sizes of the existing Terran 1 hangar and the new Terran R hangar really shows the size upgrade between the two vehicles.

SLC-37's existing pad structures are almost entirely gone as SpaceX makes more way for Starship launch facilities within the complex.

The Falcon 9 landing zone at SLC-40 has come a long way since the last capture. The outline of the LZ is clearly visible.

Also in the picture is a Falcon 9 vertical on the pad before launching KF-03.

Launch Complex 39A continues to change a lot between every capture.

What changes can you see in this image?

After a long wait due to unfortunate cloud cover, we finally have a new high resolution satellite capture of most of the Space Coast launch pads.

These captures are possible thanks to my Patreon supporters! www.patreon.com/c/spacefroms...

This is great! And I'm glad to hear Raster Blaster works well for you too. Maybe you could add the final product to @soaratlas.bsky.social when it's done? I'd love to see the full res version.

It was a lovely day on the Space Coast today. Stay tuned for something more detailed in the morning (Space Coast time)

Can you believe how much Shanghai has changed since 1966?

That's really cool. I can look into covering Crete myself in the future if it would be helpful

People who share satellite imagery while knowingly breaking the licence because 'i don't care' are the ones who ruin it for the rest of us.

It's hard enough to get usable imagery as it is.

Umbra: How much resolution would you like?
Me: All of it.
UMBRA-09: I gotchu.

True story.

Thinking about this a lot.

Basically the equivalent of Twitter moving to 'X'. Throwing away so much brand recognition for what?

Maxar retires its name, rebrands as Vantor and Lanteris

The Maxar name is disappearing from the space industry as two successor companies emerge with distinct identities: Maxar Intelligence will now operate as Vantor, and Maxar Space Systems will go by Lanteris
