SEATTLE – Burning debris from a rocket lit up Pacific Northwest skies Thursday night, the National Weather Service in Seattle said. The rocket delivered Starlink satellites, built in Redmond, Washington, into orbit earlier this week, the Times reported. SpaceX said Wednesday that the Falcon 9’s first stage returned to Earth and landed as planned on its ocean-going barge off the coast of Florida.

Read full article: SpaceX successfully launches ridesharing mission off Florida coastCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – After scrubbing its launch attempt Saturday, SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket off the Florida coast on Sunday. The payload consists of satellites from several customers, including DARPA, NASA and more of its own Starlink satellites. The mission, known as Transporter-1, also includes a somewhat last-minute addition of 10 Starlink satellites, after receiving Federal Communications Commission approval earlier this month to include those. Earlier in the week, another Falcon 9 launched 60 Starlink internet-beaming satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. There were nearly 1,000 Starlink satellites already in orbit.

Triple sonic boomsAfter liftoff, Falcon 9′s 162-foot first-stage booster will separate from the second stage, then start its descent back toward Florida. Its target: Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, which is about 9 miles south of pad 39A.
Europe, US 'climate guardian' satellite to monitor oceans

The joint European-U.S. satellite mission to improve measurements of sea level rise is being launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Saturday Nov. 22, 2020. “This is an extremely important parameter for climate monitoring,” said Josef Aschbacher, the European Space Agency's director of Earth observation. The European Space Agency this week lamented the loss of two satellites when a European-built carrier rocket veered off course shortly after launch. “We owe him a lot and he more than deserves to have this satellite named after him,” said Aschbacher.

This is the second manned launch on the space coast after a nine-year gap for manned space exploration from Florida. The space coast has been revitalized since June when NASA and SpaceX brought manned space travel from American soil back. Prior to June, the U.S. hadn’t launched a manned flight since the old shuttle in 2011. “It’s great to be back launching here.”The crew will spend about 24 more hours maneuvering to dock at the International Space Station.

SpaceX, Boeing team up for satellite launch
Read full article: SpaceX, Boeing team up for satellite launchSpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, carrying a $161 million satellite built by Boeing, took off from Cape Canaveral at about 7:20 pm ET. A rocket launch on Tuesday evening marked one such occasion: SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, carrying a $161 million satellite built by Boeing, took off from Cape Canaveral at about 7:20 pm ET. Boeing built the satellite, called Amos-17, for an Israeli firm called Spacecom. And though Boeing is half-owner of a prestigious rocket company, United Launch Alliance, Spacecom turned to competitor SpaceX to fire Amos-17 into orbit. Satellites built by Boeing do launch on ULA rockets, but they're also compatible with SpaceX's cheaper Falcon 9 and rockets built by European competitor Arianespace.
