SpaceX has completed two Falcon 9 launches from Florida and California, deploying a total of 46 Starlink satellites into orbit, with a capacity of 4 Terabits/second. The launches occurred during a busy week highlighted by the return of Crew-7 from the ISS, scheduled for 5:50am ET on Tuesday, March 11. Crew-7, comprising astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli of NASA, Andreas Mogensen of ESA, Satoshi Furukawa of JAXA, and Russian cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, shared farewell remarks at 11:55am ET before their departure. They have spent nearly 200 days in space. The Dragon Recovery ship, Megan, is positioned in the Gulf of Mexico for the splashdown. SpaceX is also gearing up for the third flight of Starship, marking a period of significant activity for the company.
