May 23, 2019 at 10:30p.m. EDT, SpaceX launched 60 Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
SpaceX’s Starlink is a next-generation satellite network capable of connecting the globe, especially reaching those who are not yet connected, with reliable and affordable broadband internet services.
Falcon 9’s first stage booster for this mission previously supported the Telstar 18 VANTAGE mission in September 2018 and the Iridium-8 mission in January 2019.
Following stage separation, the booster successfully landed on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, which was stationed several hundred miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean.
