Demo mission on a Falcon 9 launching from slick 40 Cape Canaveral. This is the first launch of SpaceX's new Starfall reentry vehicles designed to autonomously transport valuable pay map loads safely back from space to Earth, including in orbit manufacturing. The Starfall capsule is cylindrical, 3 meters in diameter, 0.5 meters tall, it's not too unhappy, and it's shaped like a hockey puck, and it can carry a thousand kilogram payloads, so that's a ton. The Remedy reentry capsule is believed to have made approximately one and a half orbits before reentry. SpaceX is remaining tight-lipped about the details of this flight. Except the repeater.
