PlanGeneralValue 3.0Oct 6, 2025RT by @Cosmic_Penguin: SpaceX is set to dominate the launch manifest for the first whole week of October with five Falcon 9 missions. https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2025/10/launch-roundup-100625/ All five of these missions will launch satellites into internet constellations, with four launching into SpaceX’s Starlink constellation and the fifth launching into Amazon’s Project Kuiper constellation. Meanwhile, China will launch another unknown payload atop its Chang Zheng 8A rocket. Blue Origin also looks to join the launch schedule by launching six people to suborbital space on its New Shepard vehicle. By Aaron McCrea.
