About an hour after the rocket was launched, the satellites separated from the second stage of the launch vehicle and entered orbit.
The Falcon 9 launch successfully launched another batch of 23 mini-satellites into orbit to replenish the orbital constellation of the Starlink system’s global Internet coverage network. This was announced by the developer company SpaceX.
It was noted that this was the 200th launch of the Starlink Internet satellite into orbit.
The rocket was launched from Launch Complex 40 at the US Space Force base at Cape Canaveral in Florida on Wednesday at 5:10 p.m. About an hour later, the satellites, which separated from the carrier’s second stage, entered orbit.
As part of the launch, the reusable first stage of the launch vehicle, used for the 14th time, reportedly made a controlled vertical landing on the offshore drone platform A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic after separation.
Earlier, the launch of the Falcon 9 vehicle launched two batches of 43 mini-satellites into orbit to replenish the orbital constellation of the global Internet coverage network of the Starlink system.
It was also reported that SpaceX performed a controlled return of a launch vehicle for the first time.
