SpaceX successfully launched another rocket, sending a new batch of Starlink satellites into orbit just a day after NASA’s historic Artemis II mission.
A Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station shortly ahead of 8 am, launching 29 satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The mission marked the 15th flight of the booster, which previously supported a crewed mission. Following stage separation, the booster safely touched down the droneship “Just Read the Instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean.
The new satellites will join thousands which are already inside the orbit, diversifying Starlink’s broadband network worldwide that serves users in more than 150 countries, especially in areas with no connectivity.
Meanwhile, the Elon Musk-owned space agency is set for another launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Which is slated for April 2, the mission will send 25 additional Starlink satellites into space, with a launch window opening at 4:03 p.m. PT.
Backup opportunities are accessible if the launch is postponed.
To view the upcoming lift off, SpaceX’s official website or its X TV app will offer full coverage starting minutes ahead of launch.
These missions underscores SpaceX’s rapid launch schedule and latest efforts to expand Starlink’s broadband network globally.
