International Space Station
---------------------------
Expedition 69 continues.
The Dragon CRS-28 cargo ship was launched from Kennedy Space Center at 1547 UTC Jun 5
docked with port IDA-3 on the ISS at 0954 UTC Jun 6. Two more IROSA solar arrays are in the trunk,
and at least 6 cubesats were carried up in the cabin for future deployment.
On Jun 7 the SPDM/SSRMS arms moved the IROSA package from the CRS-28 trunk to the MBS POA
stowage location on the truss.
Chinese Space Station
---------------------
Fei, Deng and Zhang returned to Earth in Shenzhou 15 on Jun 3. They
undocked at 1329 UTC and landed at 2233 UTC. The Shenzhou 16
crew of Jing, Zhu and Gui remain aboard the station.
Starlink
---------
Starlink Group 6-3 (22 satellites) was launched on May 19 from Canaveral (I omitted this one last issue).
Starlink Group 2-10 (52 satellites) was launched on May 31 from Vandenberg.
Starlink Group 6-4 (22 satellites) was launched on Jun 4 from Canaveral.
Lijian-1
---------
The Lijian-1 rocket made a successful secondflight on Jun 7 from Jiuquan, reportedly placing
26 satellites in sun-sync orbit.
Only six of the satellites have been tentatively identified to date.
