Falcon 9

The strange, eerie light could be seen in the twilight sky from California to Arizona, leading many to wonder about its origin.

The spiral could be seen drifting northwards over South Island at 7:30 p.m. local time on Sunday.

The launch follows the March 3 launch of 47 satellites, bringing the total number of Starlink units placed into low-Earth orbit during 2022 to 338.

The Falcon 9 rocket stage, weighing four metric tons, will very likely strike the moon's far side near its equator on March 4, 2022, at 5,700 miles per hour.

The previous four launch attempts of the Falcon 9 rocket were scuppered because of poor weather conditions around Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Hippchen said he was "insanely disappointed" after missing out on the Inspiration4 mission—the world's first spaceflight manned solely by civilians.

The Falcon 9 rocket stage, which has spent almost seven years in space, is expected to hit the moon at around 5,700 mph in March.

The Falcon 9 launch on Thursday, the 27th launch of 2021 for Elon Musk's SpaceX, with five more planned in what remains of the year.

History's first all-civilian space flight crew orbited Earth nearly six times during their first day in space and are "healthy, happy, and resting comfortably."

Follow the moments that led to SpaceX's historic launch of the first ever all-civilian space crew.

During a three-day orbit, the crew will circle the Earth several times at a distance of around 370 miles and at around 22 times the speed of sound.

SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket for the third time, and once again recovered it in the Atlantic using the "Just Read the Instructions" droneship,

"It was stunning, beautiful, and scary all at the same time," one Twitter user wrote.

On March 24, 2006, the company launched its first Falcon 1 rocket, but the mission was unsuccessful.

SpaceX is set to launch its 17th Starlink mission and its first of the year—sending 60 satellites into orbit.

The Russian space agency revealed its new reusable rocket project this week, which was broadly similar to SpaceX's Falcon 9 and forecast to start launches in 2026.

Saturday's Falcon 9 rocket launch is scheduled for lift off, weather permitting, at 5:21 a.m. EDT.

This is the final flight test for the SpaceX's next-generation Crew Dragon spacecraft.

The Starlink mission is intended to deliver "high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable," SpaceX reiterated this week.

The Dragon Crew escape test will explode the Falcon 9 rocket roughly 60,000 feet above Earth.

The aim of the ambitious Starlink project is to provide global internet coverage with low lag times by launching around 12,000 satellites into low-Earth orbit.

To the sound of applause, the rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

If successful, the probe will be the first privately funded unmanned spacecraft to land on the moon.

The rocket faced an automatic abort in the final minute before liftoff.

The Block 5 offers a number of improvements over its predecessor.

SpaceX is scheduled to launch astronauts to the International Space Station this year but the company's fueling technique is worrying for some.

SpaceX is launching a Falcon 9 rocket that will carry tons of scientific supplies to the International Space Station aboard a Dragon spacecraft.

The launch created an extremely rare, perfectly circular shock wave.

Unusually for SpaceX, the company is not trying to recapture and reuse this Falcon 9 rocket.

Starlink will provide unfettered, low-cost internet, he says.
