SpaceX put 67 Starlinks into orbit while Boeing carried out successful tests of its Starliner capsule.
SpaceX successfully launched three Falcon 9 rockets in rapid-fire fashion over the weekend, putting 67 Starlink satellites into orbit within three days of winning approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to resume launchings in the wake of a rare in-flight failure on July 11.
NASA is expected to hold a major review late this week to assess the test data and to determine the ship's readiness to bring Wilmore and Williams safely back to Earth.As for SpaceX and the Falcon 9, the company blamed the July 11 failure on a crack in an upper stage sensor line, caused by a loose bracket and metal fatigue, that led to a liquid oxygen leak.
