Artemis II Update, New US Space Force Pads, and China’s Methalox Debut | This Week In Spaceflight

NASA’s Artemis II mission is inching closer to launch as the crew takes part in a full countdown demonstration test, while teams prepare SLS and Orion for rollout and final pad rehearsals. Meanwhile, the US Space Force is exploring new options for big rockets on both coasts — including leasing SLC-46 at Cape Canaveral and developing a new SLC-14 at Vandenberg.

Plus: a major $3.5B contract award for SDA’s Tracking Layer Tranche 3 satellites, Tory Bruno departs ULA and joins Blue Origin to lead its National Security Group, and a packed Space Traffic Report featuring launch highlights and year-end stats — including China’s Chang Zheng 12A debut and another attempt at first-stage reuse.
