Cape Canaveral, USA – SpaceX Falcon 9 launched successfully on Wednesday putting into orbit a new set of sixty Starlink satellites before subsequently landing on a sea platform.
The Falcon 9 blasted off from Space Launch Complex 40, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida at 12:34 PM, the company’s 10th launch of the year.
Jessie Anderson, a SpaceX manufacturing engineer, said “Falcon 9 has successfully lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station carrying our stack of Starlink satellites to orbit,”
Approximately nine minutes later, the rocket’s first stage touched down safely on SpaceX’s drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You,” for its 7th successful landing.
