We have quite a lot of missions coming up this week. Possibly the most interesting is a Cygnus resupply mission to the International Space Station which will help sustain astronauts in space.
We have quite a lot of launches coming up this week and most of them are satellite missions. One interesting mission we have was pushed back from last week, Rocket Lab will launch some satellites for Skylark which will help the space debris cleanup.
Additionally, SpaceX will be using a Falcon 9 to launch a Cygnus resupply mission to the International Space Station.
