SpaceX launched Falcon 9 carrying 53 Starlink satellites on its 33rd mission on July 24 at 9:38 a.m. EDT (1338 GMT) from the Kennedy Space Center. Reportedly it was SpaceX’s 5th launch for the program solely in July.
Falcon 9’s first stage came back and made a successful landing on the droneship nearby in the Atlantic Odean after 8 minutes and 45 seconds of liftoff. This is the 5th most event of July that SpaceX sends Starlink satellites to space while on July 22 they send 46 Starlink satellites to orbit. In a similar way to now, 8.5 minutes after liftoff the Flacon 9’s first stage was brought back to the Pacific Ocean via a droneship. This was the second attempt to send Starlink satellites to space following an abort mission of a Falcon-9 rocket at T-46 seconds on July 21.
SpaceX has launched roughly around 2,900 Starlink satellites to space so far. Elon Musk-led company is working to amplify the internet service by sending as many as 30,000 Starlink satellites to Earth’s orbit.
SpaceX has updated stunning pictures of its Falcon 9 launch carrying 53 Starlink satellites on Twitter.
