On Tuesday (July 15th) SpaceX sent 26 more Starlink satellites to the Low Earth orbit after a start from Southern California.
A Falcon 9 rocket, which was withdrawn at 7:05 p.m. PDT (10:05 p.m. EDT or 0205 GMT July 18), escapes the fog and cloud cover -Space -Start complex 4 East on the Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The satellites (group 15-2, according to SpaceXS website) entered the orbit about eight and a half minutes later and were on the right track to be used about an hour after the mission after a second burning of the upper stage of the Falcon.

The first stage of the rocket, which had flown into space and back, landed a successful landing on the dronship “Of course I still love you” in the Pacific. The stage, which SpaceX is called by its serial number B1093, last flew in the third of the four Total -Total -Starlink flights in June.
The start on Tuesday added the Megaconstellation of SpaceX, which counts more than 7,950 active Starlink satellites. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) approved SpaceX to start a total of 12,000 units, although the company is trying to start more than 30,000 additional spaceships.
