SpaceX continues its rapid deployment of the Starlink satellite constellation, with two recent successful launches marking significant progress in expanding global internet coverage.
On Wednesday, November 8 at 12:05 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. This mission marked the 11th flight for the first stage booster, which has previously supported several missions including SES-22, ispace’s HAKUTO-R Mission 1, and CRS-27.
