A Falcon-9 launch vehicle from SpaceX took off from Cape Canaveral at 9.28 am Belgian time. The first rocket stage flew for the sixth time and landed eight minutes later on the droneship ‘Of course I still love you’. It was the 78th successful first stage recovery since 2015.
Just over an hour after lift-off the second stage deployed sixty satellites for Starlink, the broadband network that SpaceX is developing.
It was already Starlink’s 23rd mission. 1,385 artificial satellites have already been released into space.
