On October 7, American company SpaceX successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites, marking its 130th mission of the year. According to Space.com,
the Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from a Florida launch site at 09:46 Kyiv time.
The first stage of the rocket returned to Earth as planned, landing in the Atlantic Ocean on a SpaceX drone ship about 8.5 minutes after launch.
The upper stage continued to transport the Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit, where they are scheduled to be deployed approximately 64 minutes post-launch.
Today’s mission is the 126th flight for the Falcon 9, known as the “workhorse,” and the 130th launch overall for SpaceX.
Four of these launches were dedicated to suborbital test flights of the Starship rocket system.
It’s worth noting that on September 19, SpaceX launched another 24 Starlink satellites.
