now it's not exactly clear what spacex want to test with this prototype so far but i imagine that it'll become clear over the course of the next week or so so i guess i can talk about that some more in next monday's video and all the other updates that will inevitably happen over the course of this week i'm leaving my coverage of starship there for now and now i must excitedly transition to the next segment of the video where we go back and look at all the other rocket news from last week but before we do that guys you know i've got to shamelessly ask you to like the video if you are enjoying it so far really helps support the channel and of course i always do appreciate it anyway let's roll that transition last week on the NUMBER_TOKENth of october we saw an hNUMBER_TOKENaNUMBER_TOKENoNUMBER_TOKEN launched from the tanakashima launch site on board was the qzsNUMBER_TOKENr navigation satellite an upgraded replacement for the qzsNUMBER_TOKEN satellite mitsubishi heavy industries the company that builds and operates the hNUMBER_TOKENa rocket tweeted that it was a really beautiful launch and on the footage i would have to agree with them the satellite is an advanced experimental gps satellite and was successfully placed into a tundra orbit which is a kind of highly elliptical geosynchronous orbit next up on the NUMBER_TOKENth of october we saw china launch a kwaizu NUMBER_TOKENa from the xichang launch site on board was the jilin NUMBER_TOKEN gfnNUMBER_TOKENfNUMBER_TOKEN satellite launched for changuang satellite technology this earth observation satellite was successfully placed into low earth orbit and is now fully operational finally on the NUMBER_TOKENth of october we saw an old reliable soyuz NUMBER_TOKENa launched from the baikonur launch site on board was the progress ms-NUMBER_TOKEN cargo spacecraft launched to resupply the international space station in support of the expedition NUMBER_TOKEN mission aboard the station the vehicle was successfully docked to the aft port of the zvezda service module on the NUMBER_TOKENth of october and it'll remain in orbit for NUMBER_TOKEN days now aside from those launches we also had some very interesting news from blue origin yes they announced that they were working with sierra space and last week released some very exciting plans for a new space station the space station will be called orbital reef and it's being described as a mixed use business park giving anyone the opportunity to establish their own address in orbit orbital reef is backed by space industry leaders and teammates including boeing red wire space genesis engineering solutions and arizona state university we currently have two space stations in orbit the international space station and the tiangong space station but this one will be a little bit different because it'll be commercially owned developed and operated the modern looking space station will have large earth-facing windows and it'll have comfortable living working and recreational spaces this space station could be operating by NUMBER_TOKEN but i think we do need to manage our expectations somewhat considering blue origin's history of over exaggerating their timelines either way a space station that aims to be capable of hosting non-specialist crews is exciting because it takes us one step closer to making space accessible for every human so i will be following this story with the utmost interest and excitement anyway that's
START_INTERACTION_TOKEN we do that guys you know i've got to shamelessly ask you to like the video if you are enjoying it so far really helps support the channel and of course i always do appreciate it anyway let's roll that transition END_INTERACTION_TOKEN
