SpaceX just started another large fleet of satellites to the last border.
A Falcon 9 rockets with 70 payloads for a large number of customers who were picked up today (June 23) at 5:25 p.m. Edt (2125 GMT; 2:25 p.m. local California period) by a Rideshare mission known as a van (2125 GMT; 2:25 p.m.).
Transporter 14 runs microsates, cubesats and re -entry capsules, including one that wears the cremes and human DNA on a commemorative mission.

The first stage of Falcon 9 came back to earth as planned and landed in the Pacific Ocean on the SpaceX drone ship “Of course I still love you” about 8.5 minutes after the upswing.
According to a SpaceX mission description, it was the 26th start and landing for this special booster. This is close to the company’s reusability balance, which is currently on 28 flights.
The upper stage of the rocket has now continued to the low Earth orbit, where it has a lot to do: it will use the menagerie of payloads over an almost two-hour span, which begins about 54 minutes after the start.

These payloads include private straw observation satellites such as Capella Space’s Capella-17 radar trade from Capella-17 and Otter Pupp 2 from Starfish Space, which will try to carry out the first commercial docking in Leo later this year.
Transporter 14 also bears the fourth re -entry capsule for the California company Varda Space, which deals with the production of pharmaceuticals and others in space and resettles to earth.
Also on board the Falcon 9 upper level is the new NYX reuse area of the exploration company, which flies a commemorative mission in collaboration with the space Burial company Celestis.
NYX – The final payload, which has to be used today – bears depths and/or DNA of around 150 people. If everything is planned, the spaceship will circle the earth two or three times and then restored.

As the name suggests, transporter 14 is the 14th mission in the SpaceX mitarine series. The first of them, Transporter 1 in January 2021, set up a single start record and sent a whopping 143 satellites into the orbit.
The company also operates another passenger program called Bandwagon, which so far has three missions in the belt.
