SpaceX successfully launched the EarthCARE climate research satellite for ESA and JAXA from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The Falcon 9 rocket deployed the satellite into orbit, marking the 56th mission of the year and the 341st since 2010. Booster B1081 made its 7th flight and landed back at Vandenberg. The satellite will monitor clouds and aerosols to study their impact on Earth's climate.
Russian cargo ship Progress 88 has launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on 30 May 2024. The unpiloted spacecraft carries around three tonnes of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 71 crew. https://t.co/bMQNimMOxX https://t.co/fcrgH1aXLh
Clouds, which are notoriously difficult to study, have a big influence on how much heat is emitted or retained at Earth's poles. PREFIRE will help us better understand them: https://t.co/ffnSuhX2ol The launch window for the mission's final CubeSat will open at 8pm PT on May 31.
