SpaceX launches first Falcon 9 mission following Starship Flight 6
SpaceX has launched the first Falcon 9 rocket mission to deploy 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit, following the Starship Integrated Flight 6 test. This new launch was conducted from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
With this liftoff, the first stage completed its 20th overall flight, which landed on a droneship following a hot-stage separation and final landing burn.
It was previously used to launch OneWeb 1, SES 18+19, Eutelsat HORBIRD-F1, CRS-24, and now 16 Starlink missions.
