StarlinkLeader Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 SpaceX launched a batch of 21 Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Sunday night (March 2). The Falcon 9 rocket flying the mission lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 9:24 p.m. ET (0224 GMT on March 3), carrying the Starlink 12-20 mission — which included 13 satellites with direct-to-cell capability — to low Earth orbit. The Falcon 9's first stage returned to Earth a little more than eight minutes after liftoff. The booster, known by the designation B1086, touched down in the Atlantic Ocean on SpaceX's "Just Read the Instructions" droneship, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) off the coast of Florida. However, that booster was lost shortly after landing. Source: Space.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
