NOAA-15 1800UTC pass
One of the last days of NOAA APT transmissions, as NOAA-15 will be decommissioned this week 😢
That good ol' satellite has been transmitting for all my life, though, so I suppose it has earned its rest.

Be sure to have a look at Venus in the near future when the clouds allow it!
Nowadays, it is an obvious crescent, even with my simple telescope full of chromatic aberration.

CRS-31 re-entry today around 11:32am central (18:32 UTC). This is presumably the last SpaceX Dragon to re-enter over land.
Approximate luminosity indicated by line thickness.

Himawari-9 took a nice image on Aug. 21st, with the Moon distorted by Earth's atmosphere.

Big day tomorrow for ESA satellites!
- 10:38 UTC: PROBA-3 will launch on 🇮🇳 PSLV! A very exciting mission to achieve millimetre-precision formation flying, to observe the Solar corona.
- 21:20 UTC: Sentinel-1C launching on the return-to-flight of 🇪🇺 Vega-C, whose second stage nozzle was redesigned.

There were some nice views during today's Progress MS-29 launch, with the trail left behind during ascent visible at the horizon.
