The week of Oct. 23 through Oct. 29 has been a big one for low-Earth orbit (LEO) with all but one flight headed to already existing constellations. This includes two Falcon 9 launches on opposite sides of the country, one Russian Soyuz 2.1b launch, and two different launches planned out of China, one involving humans.
Two Chinese launches started the week, with the first being a Chang Zheng 2D which flew from LC-3 at Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Then, a Chang Zheng 2F/G launched out of LC-90 at the China Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, before a Soyuz 2.1b launched out of Plesetsk Cosmodrome. The first Falcon 9 launch of the week launched Starlink satellites on the other side of the world out of SLC-4E at Vandenberg Spaceforce Base (VSFB). Then, on the other side of America, Falcon 9 launched even more Starlink satellites out of SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS).
Late on Friday, SpaceX launched the Starlink Group 6-26 mission. This set a new reuse record, as the booster flew for its 18th time.
