SpaceX Launches 24 More Starlink Satellites into Orbit

On November 12, 2024, SpaceX successfully launched 24 more Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This launch marks another significant stride in the company's aim to bring global high-speed internet through its Starlink initiative.

Launch Details:

The launch happened at 4:23 p.m. ET on Monday with Falcon 9's first-stage booster tail number B1080. This booster had previously participated in 11 other missions and has now completed its 12th mission. It successfully delivered 24 satellites into low-Earth orbit, V2 mini variety, and later landed on the 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' droneship, marking its 84th landing. Initially scheduled for Sunday, November 10, the mission was postponed to Monday due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Mission Overview:

This operation is notable because SpaceX normally launches 23 satellites, but this time they packed 24 into one mission. With this launch, SpaceX is on its way to achieving its broader goal of 144 total launches by the end of the year, completing 108 launches so far in 2024. Prior to this, another Starlink mission took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Friday, showcasing the efficiency of the SpaceX teams across both the Florida and California launch sites.

What's Next:

SpaceX is ramping up for several more Starlink launches within the week, and excitingly, they are gearing up for the sixth Starship test flight, which is planned for November 18, 2024. This test flight depends on necessary FAA licenses. Elon Musk is optimistic and hinted that the next few days will bring more updates.
