SpaceX just sent two dozen more of its Starlink internet satellites to space.<\/p>\n

A Falcon 9<\/a> rocket topped with 24 Starlink craft lifted off from foggy Vandenberg Space Force Base<\/a> on California’s central coast today (Sept. 19) at 12:31 p.m. EDT (1631 GMT; 9:31 a.m. local California time).<\/p>\n

About 8.5 minutes later, the Falcon 9’s first stage returned to Earth as planned, landing on the SpaceX<\/a> drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You,” which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean. It was the 10th launch and landing for this particular booster, which carries the designation B1088.<\/p>\n
