SpaceX's Falcon Heavy returned to flight this week, marking its first mission of 2026 by launching a heavy-lift payload for the US Space Force. Russia's Soyuz-5 rocket lifted off on April 30 from Baikonur Cosmodrome on a suborbital test flight, which went well. The Soyuz-5 was designed to replace the medium-class Zenit vehicles built in Ukraine and provide Russia with a first-stage booster for a future super-heavy rocket.
