Launch Roundup: North Korean launch failure, Starliner CFT, EarthCARE
As the month of May transitions into June, a European Space Agency (ESA) mission to study the Earth’s clouds and aerosols as well as a Russian cargo ship to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) are both on this week’s docket of launches. Two Starlink and three Chinese satellite launch missions are also scheduled, as well as the repeatedly delayed Boeing Starliner crewed flight test (CFT) mission. What’s more, North Korea attempted a launch early this week, however, the launch ultimately ended in failure.
