More than two dozen Starlink satellites were delivered into low-Earth orbit Tuesday evening when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on the California coast.
The Falcon 9 carried 26 Starlink internet satellites into space. The first-stage booster returned to Earth and landed at sea on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship.
The launch, originally scheduled for Monday, follows the return of four International Space Station astronauts aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. The spacecraft splashed down early Tuesday morning in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast.
