ONE SpaceX The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Base in California on Wednesday (August 31) at 1:40 am. EDT (0540 GMT, 10:40 p.m. California local time), carrying 46 of the Starlink internet satellites in orbit. About 8.5 minutes after takeoff, the two stages Hawk 9Its first stage descended for a precision landing on SpaceX’s robotic drone, Of course, I love you, which was in the Pacific Ocean. It was the seventh launch and landing for this Falcon 9 first stage, SpaceX wrote in a mission description (opens in new tab). The rocket’s upper stage continued to fly in low Earth orbit. It will deploy the 46 Starlink satellites just over an hour after launch, if all goes according to plan. SpaceX has already launched more than 3,000 satellites for Starlink, a massive Internet constellation that beams broadband services to customers around the world. Many of these spacecraft have gone up this year. So far in 2022, SpaceX has launched 25 exclusive Starlink missions. Starlink makes up the majority of SpaceX’s launch traffic these days. the company has now completed a total of 39 orbital missions this year to date. The mega-constellation will continue to grow, both in numbers and in ambition. SpaceX is licensed to launch 12,000 Starlink satellites and has sought approval from an international regulator to deploy an additional 30,000. And last week, the founder and CEO of SpaceX Elon Musk announced plans to bring connectivity directly to smartphones using Starlink. This project, a joint effort between SpaceX and T-Mobile is called Coverage above and beyondwill use Starlink Version 2 satellites, a heavier and more capable spacecraft expected to launch next year.
