Miss Carolyn’s Constellation of the WeekPegasus, the Winged Horse Space Launches For This WeekSpace Flight Now Launch Schedule November 3 Falcon 9 ? Starlink 6-77 Launch time: Window opens at 4:57 p.m. EST (2157 UTC) Launch site: SLC-40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch another batch of Starlink V2 Mini satellites to low Earth orbit. A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster will land on a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Updated: October 30 November 4 Electron ? (undisclosed payload) Launch time: 11:30 p.m. NZDT (5:30 a.m. EST, 1030 UTC) Launch site: Launch Complex 1, Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand A Rocket Lab Electron rocket will launch a satellite for “a confidential commercial customer.” The mission is described as “Rocket Lab’s fastest turnaround to date: from signed contract to launch date in less than two months.” The payload, the orbit and the timing of deployment were not disclosed at the time the launch was announced. The company has nicknamed the mission ‘Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes’. Delayed by Rocket Lab from Oct. 19 “to perform final checkouts.” Updated: October 31 November 4/5 Falcon 9 ? CRS-31 Launch time: 9:29 p.m. EST (0229 UTC) Launch site: Launch Complex 39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch one of its Cargo Dragon spacecraft to deliver thousands of pounds of science and other supplies to the International Space Station. This will be SpaceX’s 31st supply run to the ISS as part of its Commercial Resupply Services-2 contract with NASA. The first stage booster will perform a return to landing site (RTLS) landing at Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) less than eight minutes after liftoff. Updated: October 24 NET November New Glenn ? NG-1 Launch time: TBD Launch site: Launch Complex 36 A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket will launch the company’s Blue Ring spacecraft, which is capable of both hosting and deploying multiple payloads. Blue Origin will attempt to land the first stage booster on its sea-based landing platform, ‘Jacklyn.’ Updated: September 11 NET Spring 2025 New Glenn ? EscaPADE Launch time: TBD Launch site: Launch Complex 36, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station A Blue Origin New Glenn rocket will launch a pair of identical spacecraft on NASA’s Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (EscaPADE) mission. The two satellites, named Blue and Gold, will make a roughly 11-month journey to Mars where they will then perform about an 11-month science mission while orbiting the Red Planet. Blue and Gold were manufactured by Rocket Lab over about 3.5 years and carry science experiments from the University of California, Berkeley. This launch of the New Glenn rocket will also feature a landing attempt on its landing barge in the Atlantic Ocean. Delayed from October 13. Updated: September 11 TBD 2025 Vulcan Centaur ? Dream Chaser 1 Launch time: TBD Launch site: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida A United Launch Alliance Vulcan Centaur rocket will launch on its second demonstration flight with Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser cargo vehicle for the International Space Station. The Dream Chaser is a lifting body resupply spacecraft that will launch on top of a rocket and land on a runway. This will be the Dream Chaser’s first flight to space. The Vulcan Centaur rocket will fly in the VC4L configuration with four GEM-63XL solid rocket boosters, a long-length payload fairing, and two RL10 engines on the Centaur upper stage. Delayed from August 2022, December 2023, January 2024,? April 2024 and September 2024. ?? Visible satellite passages over the next couple of days.?All times are “local” (Dallas) time.
