Live coverage: SpaceX’s Dragon cargo capsule returns to Earth

Two software errors detected after launch of a Boeing Starliner crew ship during an unpiloted test flight last December, one of which prevented a planned docking with the International Space Station, could have led to catastrophic failures had they not been caught and corrected in time, NASA said Friday.

OneWeb officials Tuesday unveiled plans for a factory just outside the gates of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida that will churn out up to 15 satellites per week to populate low Earth orbit and beam broadband Internet signals worldwide.

The launch came following several stormy days across Florida’s Space Coast. Liftoff of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force happened at 9:58 p.m. EDT (0158 UTC).
