Mike Wall is the author of " Out There " (Grand Central Publishing, 2018 illustrated by Karl Tate), a book about the search for alien life. "In the past 12 months, we've added more than 40 commercial missions to our manifest that will launch in the next couple of years." "And we're seeing no signs of slowing down soon," McCullough said. Rocket Lab is planning to launch the first TROPICS mission using its Electron rocket at 9 p.m. "In April alone, we had a total of six launches, including two human spaceflight launches with Ax-1 and Crew-4."Īx-1 came back to Earth after a 15-day stay aboard the station, but Crew-4, which launched on April 27, will be up there for about six months - roughly the same duration as Crew-3, which launched in November 2021 and splashed down off the Florida coast early Friday. "With reuse enabling our increased launch cadence, we've been able to support one launch per week on average,' McCullough said during Friday's launch. Last month was particularly busy the company launched six missions in April, including Ax-1 mission, the first-ever all-private crewed flight to the International Space Station, and Crew-4, SpaceX's latest astronaut flight to the orbiting lab for NASA.
