Triple Launch Day: SpaceX Starlink, Russian Soyuz ISS Resupply, and Chinese Sea Launch All on March 22

March 22 saw three orbital launches within 24 hours. SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon 9. Russia's Soyuz delivered a Progress cargo craft to the ISS from Baikonur Site 31, the first launch from that pad since a November 2025 accident. China conducted a sea-based launch. The Russian resumption from Site 31 demonstrates recovery of a key launch facility.
