Good evening, it is a rare treat to deliver my rocket report. Let's get started. This is going to be looking back a week to the 16th and forward to the 30th. Last week's launch, we saw six notable launches. Four SpaceX orbital launches, a Rocket Lab suborbital and a Blue Origin suborbital launch. The first launch of the week was on Thursday, September 18th at 0330 MTD. SpaceX successfully launched Starlink group 1061 from slick 40 Cape Canaveral. The Falcon 9 boosted 28 V2 Starlink minis into the Constellation's number 10 shell. It was booster 1092's seventh flight. Second flight of the week, that was later that same Thursday morning at 07 AM MTD. Blue Origin finally launched the NS-35 mission of an uncrewed New Shepard suborbital rocket. This came after several delays due to issues with the booster's avionics system. More than 40 scientific research payloads, I think about half of them were NASA's. They popped into space and back to Earth on the 10 minute suborbital hop. It was the 33rd successful recovery of the rocket.
