The Starlink 10-15 mission came a day after SpaceX launched a trio of spacecraft to study the effects of the Sun. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 4:39 a.m. EDT (0839 UTC).

Russia says a design bug from the pairing of a Progress spacecraft with an upgraded version of the venerable Soyuz launcher led to the loss of a resupply mission bound for the International Space Station on April 28.

The Soyuz booster that will send the International Space Station’s next three residents into orbit later this week rolled out of an integration hangar early Monday and rode a railroad car to its launch pad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
