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

March 22 featured three orbital launches: Russia's Progress 94 resupply mission to ISS from a repaired Baikonur pad (first use of Site 31 since a November 2025 accident), SpaceX Falcon 9 launching Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral, and China Rocket Co.'s Smart Dragon-3 sea launch. The Russian launch marks resumption from the damaged pad, demonstrating Roscosmos's infrastructure recovery. Progress 94 carries three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew.
