Q&A with Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder and CEO

The Starlink 10-29 mission added another 28 satellites into the low Earth orbit megaconstellation. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station occurred at 11:37 p.m. EDT (0337 UTC).

Astronaut Mark Vande Hei and Japanese crewmate Norishige Kanai floated outside the International Space Station Friday, repositioned two robot arm grapple mechanisms following repair work last month and carried out a variety of “get-ahead” tasks before calling it a day.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched from Cape Canaveral with a 2.2-ton package of supplies and experiments for the International Space Station on Tuesday, but the booster toppled over after descending to a barge parked in the Atlantic Ocean.
