Each report will include information on small-, medium-, and heavy-lift rockets as well as a quick look ahead at the next three launches on the calendar.A short's take on Astra is brutal. Australian launch company Gilmour Space Technologies said it has successfully hot-fired a hybrid rocket engine with 25,000 pounds of thrust. "We hope to be able to launch Australia's first sovereign-made rocket from Queensland sometime in the latter half of 2022," said company CEO Adam Gilmour. So every kilogram of fuel saved on Webb's journey to the Lagrange point could be used to extend its life there.Falcon 9 rocket launches its 550th satellite. Then, the Falcon 9 first stage made a smooth landing back near its launch site, Ars reports.A well-traveled rocket ... For this year, Rogozin said, "We are planning about 30 launches of space rockets, with more than 10 of them commercial ones."

We'll leave it to our readers to read these particular tea leaves.India begins qualification testing of upper-stage engine.
