On July 10, 2015 at 16:28 UTC the PSLV-C28 (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) rocket-carrier was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center on Sriharikota Island, India's primary launch site on the country's east coast. The rocket orbited five satellites made in Britain. The five satellites weighed 1,440 kilograms — the heaviest commercial package ever launched on a PSLV. The payload included three Earth observation satellites for the British-owned, Chinese-leased DMC3 constellation, plus a technology demo craft for Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. based in Guildford, England as well as a CubeSat named DeorbitSail. British scientists at the Surrey Space Center at the University of Surrey built DeorbitSail, which will unfurl a 16 square meter Kapton sail to test the device’s ability to bring a satellite down from orbit.

On July 05, 2015 at 07:11 UTC the Russian “Progress M-28M” unmanned supply spacecraft docked to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was docked to the Russian “Pirs” (Pier) module. The spacecraft carried 2381 kilograms of cargo for the ISS crew. The successful launch, rendezvous and docking came after back-to-back resupply failures. The “Progress M-27M” launched on April 28 spun out of control shortly after reaching orbit and one week ago, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket disintegrated during ascent, destroying the “Dragon” (CRS-7 flight) unmanned supply spacecraft loaded with more than 4,000 pounds of supplies and equipment.

On July 03, 2015 at 07:55 UTC the “Progress M-28M” unmanned supply spacecraft was launched from Baykonur Cosmodrome to the International Space Station. The spacecraft was orbited by the “Soyuz-U” rocket-carrier. It is the first successful launch of a Progress cargo ship after an April failure. The spacecraft is loaded with about 2300 kilograms of supplies and equipment needed to replenish stockpiles aboard the International Space Station.

On June 28, 2015 at 14:21 UTC the "Falcon 9” rocket-carrier was to be launched from the Cape Canaveral US Air Force Station in Florida. The launch was performed by the "SpaceX” private company supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. US private company SpaceX was to launch its "Dragon” (CRS-7 flight) unmanned spacecraft on a seventh cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. CRS means Commercial Resupply Services. In about 3 minutes after lift off the rocket exploded. It was the ninth flight for SpaceX's unmanned “Dragon” cargo spacecraft and the seventh SpaceX operational mission contracted to NASA under a Commercial Resupply Services contract.

On June 23, 2015 at 16:44 UTC the “Soyuz-2.1b” rocket-carrier was launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Arkhangelsk region, North Russia. The launch was performed by Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. The rocket orbited the “Kosmos-2506” military satellite.

On June 23, 2015 at 01:58 UTC the “Vega” rocket-carrier was launched from Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana. The rocket orbited the European “Sentinel 2A” satellite tasked to track Earth’s ever-changing environment. The satellite was made by Airbus.

On June 11 at 13:43 UTC the Russian “Soyuz TMA-15M” landing capsule landed safely in a distance of 148 kilometers south-east from the city of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan.

The spacecraft delivered to Earth the 3 members of ISS’s Expedition 43 – Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Italian astronaut Samantha Christoforetti and American astronaut Terry Virts.

They spent in space 199 days, 16 hours, 42 minutes.

On June 11, 2015 at 10:20 UTC  the Russian “Soyuz TMA-15M” spacecraft undocked from the Russian "Rassvet” (MIM-1) module of the International Space Station to deliver to Earth the 3 members of Expedition 43 – Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Italian astronaut Samantha Christoforetti and American astronaut Terry Virts.

On June 05, 2015 at 15:24 UTC the “Soyuz-2.1A” rocket-carrier was launched from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Arkhangelsk region, North Russia. The launch was performed by Russian Aerospace Defence Forces. The rocket orbited the “Kosmos-2505” satellite. It is a Kobalt-type optical reconnaissance satellite. Russian officials said the new satellite was named “Kosmos-2505”, keeping with the Russian military’s naming system for defense and intelligence-gathering spacecraft. This launch used the same upgraded type of Soyuz rocket with a modernized digital flight control system that sent a doomed Progress cargo craft into orbit on April 28.

On May 27, 2015 at 21:16 UTC the “Ariane-5ECA” rocket-carrier was launched from Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana. The rocket orbited the “DirecTV-15” and the “Sky Mexico-1” communications satellites. DirecTV 15 and Sky Mexico-1 are beginning missions expected to last at least 15 years.
