Starship SN11 | 10 km Flight
SpaceX | United States of AmericaSpaceX Starbase, TX, USA
March 30, 2021, 1 p.m.
Status: Launch Failure
Mission:
The SN11 Starship prototype performed a test flight similar to SN8, SN9 and SN10. It launched up to an altitude of 10 km or 33,000 ft and did a belly flop maneuver followed by a controlled descent, but got destroyed during the landing maneuver.

Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaVostochny Cosmodrome, Siberia, Russian Federation
March 25, 2021, 2:47 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
A batch of 36 satellites for the OneWeb satellite constellation, which is intended to provide global Internet broadband service for individual consumers. The constellation is planned to have around 648 microsatellites (of which 60 are spares), around 150 kg each, operating in Ku-band from low Earth orbit.

Soyuz 2.1a/Fregat-M | CAS500-1 & rideshare
Progress Rocket Space Center | RussiaBaikonur Cosmodrome, Republic of Kazakhstan
March 22, 2021, 6:07 a.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:
CAS500-1 is the first of two South Korean Earth observation satellites. These spacecraft feature the AEISS-C imaging system with a ground resolution of 0.5 m in panchromatic mode and 2 m in color mode. More than a dozen other satellites are included as secondary payloads, among them being the first spacecraft by the Catalan Space Agency.
