Launch Roundup: SpaceX to launch lunar lander on Falcon 9's 300th mission; JAXA looks to reach orbit with H3 rocket

This week of the sixth anniversary of the first Falcon Heavy launch, SpaceX looks to launch three separate missions from Florida. JAXA plans to have its first successful flight of the H3 rocket after its failure in 2023, and Roscosmos will resupply the ISS with Progress MS-26 on Soyuz.Early Tuesday morning, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 will launch from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) to take NASA’s Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) Earth-observing satellite to a sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). Then later in the week, SpaceX launches again from SLC-40 taking more Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. Closing out this extended week, there will be a triple header of launches coming from three different countries. The first was SpaceX’s launch of the Nova-C lunar lander out of LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Then the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will launch three payloads out of the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan on what could be the first successful launch of the H3 rocket. Then finally, a Soyuz 2.1a will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan taking supplies up to the ISS.
