Three missions have now launched this week, starting with Crew-8, which is sending a new crew to the International Space Station for a six-month tour of duty after successfully launching from Florida. Starlink 6-41 from Cape Canaveral and Transporter 10 from Vandenberg Space Force Base have also flown, and the debut of a new small satellite launcher from Japan had been set for Friday for the week’s fourth launch but Friday’s attempt was scrubbed.
Crew-8 launched three NASA astronauts and one Roscosmos cosmonaut to the Station on March 3, while the Starlink 6-41 flight and Transporter 10 took part in a launch doubleheader on March 4, with a new record time between Falcon 9 launches.
