Photos: More shots of Thursday’s Atlas 5 rocket launch

Another satellite for China’s Beidou navigation network rocketed into orbit Monday on top of a Long March 3B launcher.

Shielded from view within the protective rocket nose cone, a covert surveillance satellite has been mounted atop a Delta 4-Heavy rocket for launch June 4.

SpaceX scrubbed the launch of its next Starship test rocket Friday afternoon, and the the next opportunity for the atmospheric test flight is now expected Tuesday. SpaceX plans to launch and land the rocket at company’s South Texas development complex after losing three previous prototypes in explosions.
