Welcome to Astronomy Daily, Episode 101! After a weather scrub Tuesday evening, SpaceX's CRS-34 Dragon cargo capsule is cleared to launch tonight — carrying 6,500 pounds of science and supplies to the ISS aboard a record-setting sixth-flight Dragon capsule. Meanwhile, the most powerful rocket ever built — Starship V3 — has completed its wet dress rehearsal and is targeting Flight 12 for as early as May 19.
NASA's Psyche spacecraft is days away from its Mars gravity assist flyby — a high-speed, close-pass slingshot manoeuvre designed to fling it toward the metal-rich asteroid Psyche in the main belt. Also today: Star Catcher Industries has raised $65 million to build the world's first orbital power grid using laser-based optical power beaming. Physicists at Brown University propose a surprising new solution to the cosmological constant problem — one of the biggest open questions in all of science. And NASA's Juno spacecraft has delivered the closest-ever view of Thebe, one of Jupiter's mysterious inner moons.
