On Sunday, SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The first stage of the launch vehicle, launched into space, returned to the unmanned spacecraft “A Shortfall of Gravitas” in the Atlantic Ocean shortly after separation. According to the aerospace company SpaceX, this is the 11th time the first stage of this rocket has been used.
The Starlink satellites were deployed around 1:04 a.m.
Earlier this month, SpaceX launched its 300th Starlink communications satellite.
The company operates more than 8,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit, providing internet and mobile broadband services to remote areas of the globe not covered by traditional internet and mobile services.
