SpaceX to launch record-setting booster 1067 with 29 Starlink satellites
Technology
SpaceX is gearing up for the Falcon 9 booster's 36th launch this Thursday at 5:25am EDT from Cape Canaveral.
This flight will carry 29 new Starlink satellites into orbit, with Booster 1067, already a SpaceX legend, making its record-setting 36th trip to space.
Starlink to surpass 10,700 satellites
After liftoff, the booster aims for a smooth landing on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic, about 8.5 minutes later.
About 63.5 minutes after launch, those Starlink satellites will join over 10,700 already in orbit, keeping Starlink firmly as the world's largest satellite network.
If you're curious to watch it all unfold live, SpaceX will stream the launch about 10 minutes before takeoff via SpaceX.
