Starship, Vulcan and Electron rockets set to fly in a busy launch week

Seven rockets from four countries are scheduled to launch in the coming week, according to a launch preview published November 9, 2026. SpaceX’s Starship, United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan and Rocket Lab’s Electron are among the vehicles on the schedule.

The preview describes the week as a busy one for orbital launch activity. Starship is listed among the planned flights, but the available information does not say what the mission involves. The same applies to the Vulcan and Electron launches.

The identities of the other four rockets, the fourth country involved, and the launch dates, sites and payloads were not included in the material available. Launch schedules also tend to shift with weather, vehicle readiness and range availability. Dates and mission details should be confirmed with the operators and launch providers as the week progresses.

Starship, Vulcan and Electron serve very different segments of the launch market, from a heavy-lift development vehicle to a medium-to-heavy-lift national security and commercial rocket and a small-lift orbital launcher. That all three are on the same week’s manifest reflects how crowded the launch calendar has become.
