SpaceX nails another Starlink launch—and a big booster milestone
SpaceX just sent 27 more Starlink satellites into orbit from California, keeping its internet constellation growing.
This launch also marked a huge achievement: the company's Falcon 9 boosters have now been recovered 550 times.
Booster lands (again), satellites deployed
The Falcon 9's first stage—nicknamed B1093—landed smoothly on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" after launch.
This was its ninth flight, showing how SpaceX keeps reusing rockets to speed up missions.
Want to spot the new Starlinks?
You might catch these fresh satellites as a bright line moving across the sky for several days after launch, thanks to sunlight glinting off them at twilight.
Apps like FindStarlink or Heavens-Above can help you track when they'll fly over your area; your best bet is heading somewhere dark with an unobstructed view of the sky.
