SpaceX successfully launched another group of its broadband satellites into orbit on the evening of March 25.

A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink internet satellites took off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 7:42 p.m. EDT (2342 GMT).

Following liftoff, the Falcon 9’s first stage returned to Earth as planned, executing a precise vertical landing on SpaceX’s drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean about 8.5 minutes after liftoff.

This marked the eighth launch and landing for this particular booster, as reported by SpaceX, Space.com reported.

The launch was the 29th Falcon 9 mission of 2024 already, and the 19th devoted to building out the Starlink megaconstellation.
