[2] Two minute of footage showing Michael Charlton reporting the Eagle's successful moon landing in Houston. One minute of footage showing James Burke reviewing the Apollo 11 launch on 16 July 1969, on the programme Twenty-Four Hours.
Spaceplanes must operate in space, like traditional spacecraft, but also must be capable of atmospheric flight, like an aircraft. Spaceplanes do not necessarily have to fly by their own propulsion, but instead often glide with their inertia while using aerodynamic surfaces to maneuver in the atmosphere during descent and landing.
If flight 8 goes well, a catch of the booster at OLP-A and a catch of Ship 35 at OLP-B could occur. [55] 2025 Unknown Block 2: TBA — LEO: NASA: Launch of the Starship target for the propellant transfer demonstration mission.

Notable test flights of spaceflight systems may be listed even if they were not planned to reach space. Some lists are further divided into orbital launches (sending a payload into orbit, whether successful or not) and suborbital flights (e.g. ballistic missiles, sounding rockets, experimental spacecraft).
GCSE Bitesize was launched in January 1998, covering seven subjects. For each subject, a one- or two-hour long TV programme would be broadcast overnight in the BBC Learning Zone block, and supporting material was available in books and on the BBC website. At the time, only around 9% of UK households had access to the internet at home.
Space launch involves liftoff, when a rocket or other space launch vehicle leaves the ground, floating ship or midair aircraft at the start of a flight. Liftoff is of two main types: rocket launch (the current conventional method), and non-rocket spacelaunch (where other forms of propulsion are employed, including airbreathing jet engines).
The flight used their SpaceShipTwo spaceplane VSS Unity. The crew consisted of six Virgin Galactic employees. The crew consisted of six Virgin Galactic employees. Unity 25 was the first spaceflight for the company since Unity 22 in 2021, when founder Richard Branson flew to space.
Boeing Crewed Flight Test of Starliner, as part of the Commercial Crew Development program. 100th Atlas V Launch. First launch of humans from Cape Canaveral SFS since Apollo 7 in October 1968, first launch of humans on an Atlas vehicle since Gordon Cooper on Mercury-Atlas 9 on May 15 1963 and the first launch of humans on an Atlas V.
