This week, we have two Starlink satellite launches by SpaceX. Additionally, China is launching the Wentian module for its Tiangong Space Station, which allows for more experiments.
We have several launches due this week, including a cargo mission to the ISS and the maiden flight of Arianespace's Vega C rocket. Vega C was due for launch last week, but it got delayed.
Starlink is offering RV internet access in vehicles. The service is available without the standard waitlist, but subscribers will have to pay more and tolerate possible degradation of service.
In the upcoming week, SpaceX, ULA, and Blue Origin are expected to launch missions. The latter will get its first repeat customer, Evan Dick, taking a go on the New Shepard launch vehicle again.
We have fairly few launches this week but the ones we do have are quite interesting. The first is a resupply mission to the Chinese Space Station and the other will see more Starlink sats orbited.
We have three rocket launches scheduled for this week. The first is from Rocket Lab and the other two are from SpaceX which is sending two groups of Starlink satellites into orbit on Falcon 9 rockets.
Starlink has secured its first commercial airline customer. Select long-haul flights of Hawaiian Airlines will offer high-speed, low-latency wireless internet from Starlink. The service will be free.
We've got a busy week in rocket launches due. SpaceX and OneWeb will be launching more internet satellites while United Launch Alliance and Rocket Lab will be deploying various satellites.
SpaceX has switched on Starlink in Ukraine and is sending receivers to the country to help ensure people can stay connected if broadband and mobile infrastructure are destroyed by the conflict.
SpaceX has announced that the recent mission to deploy satellites into orbit has gone awry due to a geomagnetic storm resulting in as much as 40 satellites deorbiting and burning up in the atmosphere.
Starlink has introduced a 'Premium' tier for its satellite internet service. Costing $500/month, it promises higher download speeds, lower latency, and enhanced reliability with a larger antenna.
There are just a few launches this week again but an interesting one will be performed by SpaceX when it launches a classified satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office on Wednesday
In the next week, SpaceX is set to launch a satellite for the Italian Space Agency and launch even more Starlink satellites. We also discuss a launch due to take place at the end of this week.
Elon Musk has offered Starlink's services to Tonga following a devastating tsunami that knocked the country offline. He said he wants confirmation from officials before sending equipment.
Next week is set to be another quiet week in rocket launches. SpaceX will launch more Starlink satellites and ULA will launch some military surveillance satellites for the U.S. Space Force.
In the upcoming week, we'll be getting several satellite launches. Among them will be the launch of two new Galileo satellites and 53 Starlink satellites. There are no manned missions this week.
The Starlink satellite-based internet service could be coming out of beta next month, Elon Musk says. The service could offer hope for those in rural America struggling with options.

SpaceX's Starlink user terminals are apparently really susceptible to pigeons', among other animals', unwanted attention. These would frequently be facing outages and disruptions due to the birds.
Elon Musk has taken a dig at Jeff Bezos, saying that he retired from Amazon to pursue a full-time role filing lawsuits against SpaceX. This follows Amazon urging the FCC to deny Starlink plans.
The launches this week will be quite ordinary. OneWeb will get 34 new internet satellites in space and China even wants to launch an internet satellite as a test before establishing a constellation.
Ookla's latest speed test report shows that Starlink has made major strides in the performance offered during the Q1-Q2 period in the U.S. If things continue like this, it may beat broadband speeds.
The Rhineland-Palatinate state authority in Germany has announced today that it has set up 12 Starlink satellite dishes that will help the flood-affected people. More dishes will be deployed later.
The German government is formulating a plan that would see it subsidise the hardware costs for internet satellite hardware from the likes of Starlink. Starlink sells this hardware for $499 normally.
Google Cloud and SpaceX today announced a new partnership in which Starlink satellite internet will rely on Google's private fiber-optic network to quickly make connections to cloud services.
The upcoming week of rocket launches is fairly routine, SpaceX is hoping to launch more Starlink satellites and Virgin Galactic could also fly its SpaceShipTwo-class VSS Unity rocketplane.
It's a quiet week in terms of rocket launches this week. If we are lucky, we should see SpaceX launch its Starship SN15 from Boca Chica, Texas, as it attempts to perform its first smooth landing.
SpaceX is planning to launch its Starship SN11 sometime this week. The firm still hasn't performed a perfect landing of the craft but it has been improving its technique after each test.
There are four planned rocket launches this week, two from SpaceX, one from Rocket Lab, and another from the Chinese National Space Administration. Rocket Lab's mission was delayed from last week.

Starlink, the satellite-based internet service developed by SpaceX, is opening up its beta program to more customers, promising speeds up to 150Mbps. However, it costs nearly $600 upfront.
A paper has looked at the expected effect of internet satellites on telescope astronomy. It said the issue is manageable and that the first and last hours of the night will be impacted most.
SpaceX has announced that it'll launch dozens of Starlink satellites into space on May 15. The satellites will not have communication links between them but include antennas and electric propulsion.
SpaceX is set to shed about 600 jobs in order to become leaner and adapt itself to be better prepared for the future. It will help those laid off find new work and pay them for at least eight weeks.
