"SpaceX's Double Launch: Falcon 9 Sends Starlink Satellites and Eutelsat 36D into Orbit"

SpaceX treated Brevard locals and spring breakers to a double-header Falcon 9 launch, delivering a communication satellite for Airbus and Starlink satellites. The launches, three hours and 38 minutes apart, took place at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The Delta IV Heavy launch was delayed due to a gaseous nitrogen pipeline issue, with the next launch window set for April 8th. Spectators enjoyed the beautiful weather on the Space Coast, witnessing the successful landings of the Falcon 9 boosters. SpaceX's 31st launch and landing of 2024 included the 18th flight for a specific Falcon 9 booster, with another STARLINK group 7 launch from California planned for later that night.

China has successfully conducted two orbital missions, launching a flat-panel communications satellite developed by GalaxySpace and a batch of spy satellites. The Lingxi-03 satellite by GalaxySpace carries a multi-beam digital payload and will support the deployment of China's low Earth orbit communications megaconstellation. The Yaogan-36 mission likely includes signal-intelligence satellites, joining the existing Yaogan-35 satellites in similar orbits. These launches mark the 149th and 150th consecutive successful Long March launches for China, with a total of 480 Long March rockets launched to date.
