The Polaris Dawn mission discussed in our last report should launch at 3:33 a.m. EDT on September the 6th. On the same day, the Boeing Starliner will undock from the International Space Station and land at White Sands, NM on the 7th at 12:03 a.m. EDT.

Blue Origin's New Glenn reusable rocket system will make its first launch on October 13th carrying a Mars satellite for NASA. See part 2 of the tour.

Meanwhile, all eyes are on the 5th flight test of the SpaceX Starship/Superheavy system. The 5th flight will attempt to demonstrate the landing of both vehicles—the Superheavy at the launch site, and the Starship on a landing barge. As has been the case repeatedly, SpaceX is awaiting FAA approval to launch. It is expected that that approval will be forthcoming and that the launch can take place in September.
