SpaceX kicks off busy year with launch of Turkish relay station – CBS News
The launching was the first of 40 or more SpaceX flights planned for 2021.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket thundered to life and streaked away from Cape Canaveral on Thursday night, boosting a Turkish communications satellite into orbit to kick off another busy year for the California rocket company.
The launching set the stage for the Monday return to Earth of an unpiloted Dragon cargo ship carrying research samples and equipment from the International Space Station and a presumed test flight by a prototype Starship upper stage from SpaceX’s Boca Chica, Texas, launch site.
