SpaceX launched 24 more Starlink satellites into orbit on Sept. 13 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, marking the company’s 300th Starlink mission.
The Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage successfully landed on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You, completing its 28th flight.
The satellites were deployed into low Earth orbit about an hour after liftoff, joining over 8,300 active Starlink spacecraft in the world’s largest satellite network, Space.com has reported.
This launch was SpaceX’s 115th Falcon 9 flight of the year, with more than 70% dedicated to Starlink missions.
