Several orbital launches are scheduled worldwide this week. A mission to rescue the Swift observatory spacecraft is planned along with the first full flight of a South Korean military launcher. This week could also see the final satellite launch by an Atlas family rocket. There is also an Electron launch from New Zealand.
The Swift rescue mission is flying out of Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific, mounted inside the final air-launched Pegasus launch vehicle built. The Amazon Leo LA-08 and Starlink Group 10-50 flights will launch from Cape Canaveral, while Starlink Group 17-46 is set to fly from California. Across the Pacific, the South Korean military launcher will be joined by three Chinese launches and an Electron launch for iQPS.
