This week got off to a flying start when new science experiments and cargo were launched to the International Space Station, and Roscosmos launched ionospheric research satellites. Rocket Lab has also launched its Electron rocket on the company’s quickest turnaround mission to date this week.

Booster B1067 became the third Falcon 9 booster to reach the current record of 23 flights when it flew on Monday, Nov. 11.
