Two launches in one day.

A pre-dawn launch is took astronauts to the International Space Station.

Saturday night’s launch put twenty two satellites in earth’s orbit.

Saturday night’s moon was 81% waxing. It will be full in 3 days. However, the full moon will likely be hidden behind clouds from a tropical disturbance developing in the Caribbean.
