If you got a nickel every time SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink broadband satellites, you wouldn’t be rich, but you’d have a lot of nickels.<\/p>\n

Under such an arrangement, today (Nov. 6) would mark another payday, as SpaceX<\/a> did, in fact, launch another Starlink mission this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Starlink<\/a> Group 11-14 lifted off atop a Falcon 9<\/a> rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California today at 4:13 p.m. EST (2113 GMT; 1:13 p.m. local California time), carrying 28 satellites to join the company’s growing megaconstellation in low Earth orbit<\/a> (LEO).<\/p>\n

It was the eighth flight for the first stage of this Falcon 9 booster, known as 1093, which completed a stage separation and successful deceleration burns, then aced a landing on a drone ship in the Pacific Ocean about 8.5 minutes after liftoff.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

B1093 will now ride that ship, called “Of Course I Still Love You,” back to port for refurbishment and future launches.<\/p>\n

While B1093 made its way back to Earth<\/a>, the Falcon 9’s upper stage continued toward LEO, carrying the 28 Starlink satellites to their deployment point, where they are scheduled to be released about an hour into flight.<\/p>\n

They’ll join more than 8,800<\/a> other spacecraft in the Starlink megaconstellation, which provides wireless internet service to customers across the globe.<\/p>\n
