Elon Musk’s SpaceX has launched a new batch of 22 Starlink Internet satellites into orbit. This is the second successful launch this week, the company announced on Twitter on Saturday, September 9.

The Falcon 9 launch vehicle launched from the Cape Canaveral launch site in Florida on Friday at 23:12 US East Coast time (Saturday at 06:12 Kyiv time – ed.). About an hour later, the spacecraft was launched into orbit.

Falcon 9’s first stage returns to Earth, landing on the Shortfall of Gravitas unmanned offshore platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

It is known that this launch will be the 63rd in 2023 for SpaceX. The company has updated its own record for the number of flights every year. More than half of this year’s launches are dedicated to building the Starlink network, which now includes more than 4,600 active satellites.

Earlier, Space X launched Indonesia’s first Internet satellite SATRIA-1 into orbit, which will connect users of even the poorest and least accessible regions of the country to the Internet.
