Nov. 18 (UPI) — SpaceX<\/a> on Tuesday night launched another batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Florida’s eastern coast.<\/p>\n

The Falcon 9 rocket topped with 29 of the orbiters launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:12 p.m. EST Tuesday. It was the 99th orbital rocket launch from the spacesport this year.\n<\/p>\n

About 8 minutes, 25 seconds into the launch, the first stage booster, on its 12th flight, returned to Earth and landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was awaiting its return in the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

SpaceX later confirmed<\/a> on X that the mission’s 29 satellites had been deployed.<\/p>\n

The orbiters are to join a constellation of thousands, which provide high-speed, low-latency Internet service across the globe.<\/p>\n

The launch comes two days after a Falcon 9 rocket launched NASA’s ocean-observing Sentinel-6B satellite<\/a> into space. That mission marked the 500th overall Falcon rocket mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Port Canaveral’s Exploration Tower stands in the foreground during a timed exposure of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142315,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[138,111,139,69,147,1503,145],"class_list":["post-142314","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-business","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-science","tag-spacex","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142314","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142314"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142314\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
