The Vega C rocket successfully launched its second mission of 2025 from the Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana on July 26, deploying five payloads into sun-synchronous orbit. The mission included the MicroCarb satellite, designed to map global carbon dioxide sources and sinks, along with four CO3D satellites for the French space agency CNES. These CO3D satellites will produce high-resolution three-dimensional surface models to support environmental research, urban development, and infrastructure planning. Following this, SpaceX conducted a successful static fire test of its Falcon 9 rocket at Launch Complex 39A on July 29, preparing for the Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS), now scheduled for launch no earlier than July 31. On July 30, SpaceX launched Falcon 9 B1069 from Cape Canaveral's SLC-40, deploying 28 Starlink satellites to enhance internet connectivity. NASA and SpaceX continue final preparations for the upcoming crewed ISS mission.
