SpaceX launched a fresh batch of Starlink spacecraft into orbit this morning (Sep. 3), lofting 28 more satellites into the company’s megaconstellation of over 8,000.<\/p>\n

A Falcon 9 rocket<\/a> lifted off from Space Launch Complex-40, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station<\/a> in Florida at 7:56 a.m. EDT (1156 GMT). It came just over 8 hours after a different Falcon 9 launched 24 Starlink satellites of its own<\/a> late Monday night from SpaceX’s Vandenberg Space Force Base pad in California.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The mission, Starlink 10-22, carried more than two dozen of the broadband relays into low-Earth orbit (LEO), deploying the satellites about an hour after liftoff, SpaceX confirmed in a post on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was the 14th launch of B1083, the Falcon 9 booster that supported Starlink 10-22. About 2.5 minutes after liftoff, the booter successfully executed a main engine cutoff (MECO) and stage separation from the rocket’s upper half.<\/p>\n

After successful deceleration and landing burns, B1083 softly touched down on SpaceX’s A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean about six minutes later.<\/p>\n

Starlink 10-22 is SpaceX’s 113th launch of 2025, and is the second of five Starlink launches the company has scheduled<\/a> for this week. (The first was last night’s flight from California.)<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s Starlink megaconstellation<\/a> currently totals more than 8,100 satellites in LEO, according to astronomer and spacecraft tracker Jonathan McDowell<\/a>. They provide internet access to Starlink subscribers around the globe, offering access to low-latency high speed internet with nearly worldwide coverage.<\/p>\n
