SpaceX persists in enhancing its rocket-reuse record.
A Falcon 9 rocket, launching 21 of the company’s Starlink internet satellites, including 13 equipped with direct to cell functionalities, took off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today (Jan. 10) at 2:11 p.m. EST (1911 GMT).
This marked the 25th mission for the rocket’s first stage, establishing a new record for the company. Fourteen of those missions have been dedicated to Starlink operations, according to a SpaceX mission overview.
Approximately eight minutes post-launch, the first stage returned to Earth as planned. It landed in the Atlantic Ocean on the SpaceX drone ship “Just Read the Instructions.”
