Gilmour Space Eris flight 1 : Bowen Spaceport : NET 15 July 2025 (21:30 UTC)

[PM3]

EDIT:  For the records, the next launch attempt is now NET 18 June

NET June 17th in UTC 

NET 21 June: "All NOTAM will be published 14 days prior to an identified launch window."

[Kion]

OMG YEAH LETS GOOO!! So 18th of June at 21:30 (UTC)?

[Kion]

A new SUP (H107/25 attached) has just been posted, effective from 17 June until cancelled.

Third time lucky?


EDIT:  For the records, the next launch attempt is now NET 18 June

What is the launch date and window in UTC?

Nvm... for those who don't know, the documents states the date which it will be effective, so we can estimate when the launch window will start. Also, good thing it in UTC lol.

So with that said, they are aiming for the 17th of June at 21:30 UTC for the start of the new launch window.

One final interesting thing to note is that they updated their website yesterday, and it still says "TBD" on the home page. This is probably because they might still be evaluating the new date, or getting ready to make an announcement post about it soon.

Hopefully thy will post something by the end of this week/start of next week, if this is in fact the new launch date they will aim for.

Well, looks like this is not the case anymore.  When I mentioned the dates in the document being a likely date for a launch, I might have been wrong. In the RGV Aerial Photography discord, someone posted a new NOTAM with ranging dates from June 25th until July 3rd.

Hmm so that means that the other date on the other document I was referencing is still an option? Or I miss read?

Basically my question is, does the possibility of launch start on the 25th?

Before Starship's Flight 9, there were multiple active NOTAMS with different NET launch dates. Its likely that the most recent one just overwrites the old.

Here's the FAA's procedures for Canceling/Extending NOTAMs.

Well, we hope to get a new date next week!

Quick #flashback to Bowen... where our Happy little Vegemite's looking bright as bright can be 👌

Team is back on site for systems testing — if all goes well, we hope to share a new NET date next week.

Sorry, I spilled my coffee, twisting my neck to see that photo. I rotated it.  However, I understand the purpose of this is to showcase the can/bottle of Vegemite in the picture.

[MickQ]

Vegemite comes in a glass jar with a plastic screw on top.  For the un-initiated 😁

And is probably considered highly toxic to marine life.. (hell, it is to people! I can't stand the stuff!!😁)

They would have been better advised to send up a cheese.

Yum yum yum. :-)

To US standards, that's a skimpy portion.

New NOTAMs have been released that suggest that the launch window date could start as soon as June 28th until July 6th instead of starting on June 25th and ending on July 3rd.

To US standards, that's a skimpy portion.   

Vegemite has a very strong taste, so I like to spread it thin. :-) I've heard stories of Americans spreading it on thick and being turned off Vegemite for life!

During our trip to Greece, particularly on Mykonos Island, my wife and I had an experience we will never repeat. We ordered our first crepe with Nutella, only to find it overflowing with the overly sweet spread. It was so rich that slicing and enjoying it felt more like a chore. After a few bites, we decided to abandon it completely, promising ourselves never to mix those ingredients again. Now, whenever I see a travel show featuring Mykonos, that unfortunate memory comes flooding back!

I would never spread that much of anything on a crepe, and that experience was my last for eating a crepe as well. Vivid memory that was.
