LAUNCH at 0630 UTC Jul 16 of 24 Kuiper internet satellites by Falcon 9 from Canaveral.

ISS orbit boost at 1445 UTC Jul 16, using the Progress MS-30 freighter. Delta-V of 1.1m/s; unusually, Russian statements did not include the burn duration

NASA's TRACE solar observatory, which operated from 1998 to 2010, reentered over the ocean 600 km south of Perth, W Australia at 1137 UTC Jul 18.

LAUNCH at 0352 UTC Jul 19 of Starlink Group 17-3 from Vandenberg to sun-sync orbit

LAUNCH at 1900 UTC Jul 18 of a NASA Black Brant IX suborbital rocket from White Sands on flight NASA 36.372US carrying the U Colorado SNIFS ultraviolet telescope/spectrograph to observe the Sun. Apogee was 350 km.

LAUNCH on Jul 21 of a Qased vehicle from Shahroud, Iran on a suborbital trajectory. Qased previously made 3 successful orbital flights; this flight is claimed as a tech development test for future orbital missions.

LAUNCH at 2112 UTC Jul 22 of Falcon 9 from Canaveral with the O3b mPOWER F9 and F10 communications satellites

LAUNCH at 1813 UTC Jul 23 of Falcon 9 from Vandenberg with TRACERS T1/T2, Bard, REAL, LIDE, EPIC Athena, and Skykraft 4/4A/4B/4C/4D.

The O3b MP-9/10 satellites and the Falcon 9 upper stage, launched yesterday, cataloged in expected 2654 x 7018 km x 9.7 deg insertion orbit. The payloads will raise their orbits to circularize at apogee.

7 objects cataloged from the TRACERS launch in a 588 x 594 km x 97.7 deg, 0956 LTDN sun-synch orbit. Consistent with the expected payloads assuming the 5 Skykraft-4 sats are still attached to each other

It has taken some time, but the payload from Rocket Lab's "Symphony In The Stars" mission has been cataloged as "Lyra-4", confirming that it did indeed carry a Lyra Block 1 satellite for EchoStar. celestrak.org/satcat/table-s… Tran
