SPACE EXPLORATION: SpaceX Launches Another Wave of Starlink Satellites!
SpaceX successfully launched another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit on Friday morning. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 6:07 a.m. PST (9:07 a.m. EST).
This mission, designated Starlink 11-6, utilized the veteran Falcon 9 booster B1063 for its 23rd flight. This reusable booster has previously supported numerous missions, including critical missions for the National Reconnaissance Office, NASA’s DART asteroid deflection test, and 14 prior Starlink launches.
Following stage separation, the first stage successfully landed on the SpaceX droneship “Of Course I Still Love You” in the Pacific Ocean, marking the 118th successful landing on this vessel and the 401st overall for SpaceX.
