SpaceX launched 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, early Wednesday (Sept. 25). A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 3:01 a.m. EDT, with the first stage set to land on the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You.” This marks the 10th launch and landing for this booster. The upper stage will deploy the satellites into low Earth orbit 60 minutes post-liftoff, adding to the Starlink megaconstellation of over 6,300 active satellites. SpaceX also plans to launch the Crew-9 mission to the ISS on Saturday.
