On the heels of a busy launch week, this week saw a number of launches – and attempts – from around the globe. SpaceX was expected to launch five Falcon 9 missions, including a rideshare and the delayed Axiom-4 crewed mission. However, Axiom-4 was pushed back from June 22 for additional analysis and is now out of the week.
The rarely-flown Angara A5 rocket from Russia launched a military payload. The last ever flight of the H-IIA, Japan’s long-time medium-lift workhorse, was on the schedule, as was a Blue Origin crewed suborbital launch, now scrubbed twice. Both H-IIA and NS-33 launches are out of the week.
