SpaceX just lofted yet another batch of its Starlink broadband satellites to orbit.<\/p>\n

A Falcon 9<\/a> rocket carrying 24 Starlink craft lifted off from foggy Vandenberg Space Force Base<\/a> in California today (Sept. 13) at 1:55 p.m. EDT (1755 GMT; 10:55 a.m. local California time).<\/p>\n

About 8.5 minutes later, the rocket’s first stage touched down in the Pacific Ocean on the SpaceX<\/a> drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You.” It was the 28th launch and landing for this particular booster, which is designated B1071.<\/p>\n

The Falcon 9’s upper stage continued hauling the 24 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit<\/a>, where they’re scheduled to be deployed 62.5 minutes after liftoff.<\/p>\n

The new arrivals will join more than 8,300<\/a> other active spacecraft in the Starlink network, by far the largest satellite constellation ever assembled.<\/p>\n

Today’s launch was the 115th Falcon 9 liftoff of the year. More than 70% of these missions have been Starlink flights.<\/p>\n
