Washington DC (UPI) Aug 2, 2024
SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites into orbit early Friday morning from the Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A.
The Falcon 9 rocket blasted off at 1 a.m., EDT, with the first stage returning to Earth to stick its Atlantic Ocean landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas.
SpaceX moved back the launch for nearly an hour into the launch window, which started at 12:19 a.m.

The University of Texas at Austin has initiated an expedition to explore the underwater boundaries of Greenland's coastal glaciers to gain insights into future sea level rise.
The four-week international expedition will study the mechanisms controlling the melting of these massive glaciers, which hold about 23 feet (7 meters) of potential sea level rise within their ice.

In electronic technologies, critical material properties change in response to stimuli like voltage or current. Scientists strive to understand these changes at various scales, from the nanoscale to the microscale. However, the often-overlooked mesoscale - spanning 10 billionths to 1 millionth of a meter - is now coming into focus.

An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
A Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft perched atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will carry the plants to the orbiting laboratory, where astronauts will tend to them before the plants are returned to Earth.
The experiment created by scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will look at how two different types of grass grow on the space station. A PNNL team led by biologist Pubudu Handakumbura designed the experiment and will compare the results from space to identical plants being grown at the Kennedy Space Center.
