"SpaceX launches and lands 3rd rocket in 36 hours" Source The expedition launched a communications satellite for the company Globalstar early Sunday morning. SpaceX just completed a remarkable spaceflight tripleheader. On Sunday (June 19) at 12:27 a.m. EDT (0427 GMT), a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket launched from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying a communications satellite for the Louisiana-based company Globalstar into orbit. Mike Wall is the author of "Out There" a book about the quest for extraterrestrial life. The rocket's first stage returned to Earth ten minutes after liftoff for a vertical landing on the SpaceX drone ship Just Read The Instructions, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. The satellite will be launched into orbit in around 1 hour and 50 minutes if everything goes according to plan.  It was SpaceX's third mission in less than 36 hours.

Source On Saturday, SpaceX launched a German radar reconnaissance satellite from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, less than 24 hours after launching 53 Starlink satellites from Florida. The successful mission paved the way for a third Falcon 9 launch barely 14 hours later in Florida. If the launch of a Globalstar communications satellite on Sunday proceeds as planned, it will be the fastest three-flight cadence for an orbit-class rocket in modern space history, clocking in at 36 hours and 18 minutes for SpaceX's 158th, 159th, and 160th Falcon 9 missions. By the end of the year, more than 50 releases are expected. The Falcon 9 lifted off from fog-shrouded pad 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base northwest of Los Angeles at 10:17 a.m. EDT (7:17 a.m. local time) on Saturday. A German radar reconnaissance satellite known as Sarah 1 was perched atop the tiny rocket, the first of three intended by the Bundeswehr defense ministry to replace an aging, less-capable system.
