SpaceX has just sent another batch of his Starlink wide band satellites to the last border.
A Falcon 9 rocket with 19 Starlink trade, which was now (July 31) at 2:35 p.m. Edt (1835 GMT; 11:35 a.m. Local California) from the foggy Vandenberg Space Force Base from California.
The first stage of the rocket returned to Earth about 8.5 minutes later and landed in the Pacific Ocean on the SpaceX drone ship called “Of course I still love you”.

It was the 27th start and the landing for this special booster, which is called 1071. These are just two shy of the reconciliation record of the company, which was set at the beginning of this month – and no less on the 500th total start of Falcon 9.

The earlier missions of Booster 1071
NROL-87 | NROL-85 | Sarah-1 | Nerd | Transporter-8 | Transporter-9 | Transporter-13 | NROL-146 | Bandwagon-2 | NROL-153 | NROL-192 | 15 Starlink missions
The upper stage of the Falcon 9 was carried by the 19 Starlink satellites in the direction of a low earth orbit. Here you will be used 63 minutes after the start when everything goes according to plan.
You will join the more than 8,000 other active satellites in the Starlink Megaconstellation, the largest assembly that has ever been built.
Today’s Starlink start -the 94th Falcon 9 mission of the year -should be the second half of a room flight -double header. Today SpaceX tried to start the crew-11 astronaut mission for NASA to the international space station, but because of bad weather, scrubbing the countdown clock at about a minute.
