SpaceX successfully launched the ‘Starfall’ return capsule as part of the Bandwagon-5 rideshare mission on October 20th, marking the second operational flight for the vehicle. The launch occurred this morning and utilized SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket to propel the capsule into orbit. This particular mission is a rideshare venture, carrying multiple small satellites alongside the ‘Starfall’ capsule.
