Spaceflight Magazine

[Blackstar]

I just got a copy of the fall 2023 issue of Air & Space Magazine. A few years ago they came off the newsstands and became a member only magazine for members of the Air and Space Society. The magazine is smaller, fewer pages. I don't think it looks as good as it did in its heyday, when it had a lot of original stories and photographs (I worked for them in the late 1990s). But it still looks pretty good. Here are a few images. The commercial lunar article is well illustrated although those are almost all press release images, not original, which is something magazines do to keep the cost down.

Now that is a good choice for a cover photo. It has drama and mystery.

Of course, it's still pretty dark...

BIS celebrated its 90th birthday...
As most of my colleagues prefer the more elaborate "Space Chronicle" magazine and leave the "Spaceflight" on the side... Hope they'll reach a century !

Never even heard of Space Chronicle, and certainly never seen it in the shops.

Interesting that they phrase it "but booster, spacecraft lost", given that it was in the mission profile from the very outset that neither ship would survive.
