With Christmas and New Year out of the way, rocket launches are starting to get back into full swing. Notably this week, Virgin Orbit will be launching from Cornwall in the UK this week.
It's a quiet week we have coming up. Innospace, a South Korean startup, is due to launch its Hanbit-TLV rocket which could be an interesting watch as we don't normally get launches from this firm.
We have an exciting line-up of launches this week, perhaps most notable is the launch of the Mengtian module for the Chinese Space Station. This could make the station a bit easier to see from Earth.
It's a quiet week in rocket launches this week, but one interesting note is that OneWeb is going to be orbiting its satellites with the help of an Indian company instead of using Russian rockets.
We've got plenty of launches coming up this week, though, they will all be focused on launching satellites. One of the launches this week is the maiden flight of the RS1 rocket from ABL Space Systems.
We have a busy schedule in rocket launches ahead. Due to Hurricane Ian, a couple of launches were pushed into this week. On Wednesday, SpaceX will fly four astronauts from three countries to the ISS.
This week we have a number of interesting rocket launches. Russia is due to send two cosmonauts and an astronaut to the ISS and United Launch Alliance will launch a top-secret spy satellite.
This week we have two planned rocket launches. The first will be a Long March 11 carrying a mystery payload. The second will be a Falcon 9 carrying 53 Starlink satellites, designated Group 4-23.
SpaceX will be launching more Starlink satellites this week and China is planning to launch Yaogan satellites that will be used for scientific experiments, land surveys, disaster prevention and more.
We have a quiet week this week, with just the maiden flight of the Lijian 1 rocket from China. Check out the recap for the launch of the Wentian module, which will join the Tiangong Space Station.
This week, we have two Starlink satellite launches by SpaceX. Additionally, China is launching the Wentian module for its Tiangong Space Station, which allows for more experiments.
This week we have a lot of satellite launches, including the first GLONASS-K2 satellite. In addition, the Vega C and Zhuque ZQ-2 rockets will make their first flights if all goes to plan this week.
OneWeb is working with New Space India Limited, the commercial arm of ISRO, to launch its internet delivery satellites into orbit. It comes after OneWeb cut ties with Russia over the war in Ukraine.
This week, we are due to see the launch of Axiom Space's manned mission to the ISS. It was originally slated for last week but it had to be cancelled. SpaceX will be providing a rocket for the crew.
In the next week, Russia will launch three cosmonauts to the International Space Station from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. SpaceX and Astra Space also have unmanned missions planned this week.

Next week is set to be another quiet week in rocket launches. SpaceX will launch more Starlink satellites and ULA will launch some military surveillance satellites for the U.S. Space Force.
After the successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope, we have a quiet week ahead. It'll be interesting though because Russia is planning the third test flight of its Angara A5 rocket.
It's due to be a quiet week in rocket launches in the week beginning December 13th. We should see anticipation build, however, for the JWST telescope which is due to launch the week after.
This week should be interesting for space launches as SpaceX gets NASA's DART probe off the ground. Next year, DART will impact an asteroid satellite known as Dimorphos in an Earth defence test.
Next week plans to be quite exciting for rocket launches as China will be expanding its space station with the Tianzhou 3 cargo craft. It will give taikonauts more room to store items.
SpaceX finally stacked the Starship upper stage onto the Super Heavy booster yesterday, bringing the firm one step closer to an orbital launch. Later this week the ISS will receive a cargo mission.
Rocket Lab has signed a new deal with BlackSky which will see it launch nine satellites for the company across five launches. It comes after a BlackSky satellite was launched by the firm this week.
