SpaceX launched 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on November 14.
The Falcon 9 rocket successfully returned its first stage to Earth, landing on the droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” after eight minutes.
This marked the eighth launch for the booster, which has previously supported multiple Starlink missions, Space.com has reported.
The launch adds to the growing Starlink constellation, which now includes over 6,500 active satellites, with 270 capable of direct-to-cell communication.
