Space enthusiasts, mark your calendars; October 3 to 7th is a packed week with satellites set to launch throughout the period. Last week, Hurricane Ian passed through Florida, due to which the scheduled launches and the ones that had to be launched this week are all bundled up this week. The noteworthy launch is the Falcon 9 will be taking off from Florida and is scheduled at 4:00 pm, which carries the Dragon 2 spacecraft with two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and a JAXA astronaut.

On October 3, the Starlink satellite will be launched with the Starlink group 4 to 29 and has 52 satellites and will fire the satellites over the top of the Falcon 9 rocket; once the missile has left the ground, it will land back, ready to be used again. SpaceX aims to improve its internet based on the satellite by launching more of them. It will be streamed on their official website, which is timed at 11:56 pm from California. On October 4, the ULA's Atlas V that will be carrying the SES 20 and SES 21 satellites for communication is set to be launched. It will be placed in geosynchronous orbit for SES with data services and C band television in the US. It is scheduled to take off at 9:36 pm from Florida and will be shown on the ULA website. October 5 will see two launches. First, Falcon 9 will head to the international space station with four people on board. NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Nicole Mann, along with JAXA's Koichi Wakata and Roscosmos's Anna Kikina, will be on the mission. It will take off from Florida at 4:00 pm and stream on Youtube and the SpaceX website. Rocket Lab will launch an Electron rocket an hour after the Falcon 9 is launched and will carry the GAzelle satellite. It will be managed by General Atomics Electromagnetics Systems Group, which will perform experiments for shoppers. The mission has a pretty amusing name called Argos Up From Here, and it will be launched in New Zealand and shown on the Rocket Lab website.

October 6, too, will be seeing two rocket launches, with the first one being launched at 11:07 pm in Florida by SpaceX. Falcon 9 will carry communication satellites for Intelsat, Galaxy 33, and 34. Northrop Grumman built them for broadcasting C-ban video and TV to the US from geostationary orbit and can be watched on the SpaceX website. On the same day, the launch of the second one will be the Long March 2D rocket which carries the ASO-S called Kuafu and will be dedicated to solar physics. This is China's first launch of a missile to study solar physics. It will be launched at 11:40 but will not be streamed. On October 7, last but not least, Japan will launch an Epsilon rocket carrying a Raise 3 demo satellite. In addition, peripheral payloads CubeSats called MAGNARO, QPS-SAR 3 and 4, MITSUBA, WASEDA-SAT ZERO, FSI-SAT, AND KOSEN 2 will be launched at 12:47 am. A Quick Look
