Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) has successfully launched another batch of 60 Starlink broadband satellites.
The satellites were onboard the partially reusable two-stage-to-orbit medium-lift launch vehicle Falcon 9.
The vehicle will be lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, US.
Besides the Starlink mission, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 first stage rocket booster supported the launch of the GPS-III Space Vehicle 03 and Turksat 5A missions.
SpaceX in a statement said: “Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ droneship, which will be located in the Atlantic Ocean. One half of Falcon 9’s fairing supported the Sentinel-6A mission and the other supported a previous Starlink mission.”
Dubbed as Starlink 22, this the fourth Starlink mission this month and the 23rd overall.

By GlobalDataSpaceX aims to provide high-speed internet access to users around the world through its Starlink mega constellation.
Until now, the company has already launched more than 1,300 internet-beaming satellites into orbit. It aims to reach an initial planned constellation of 1,440 spacecraft.
In a separate development, SpaceX is reportedly planning to accelerate the launch of its Starship SN11 after successfully testing its Starship prototype on 22 March.
The uncrewed spacecraft is designed to fly at an altitude of roughly 10km, before attempting a landing on a designated landing spot.
Earlier this month, SpaceX’s Starship Serial Number 10 (SN10) prototype rocket completed a high-altitude flight test and exploded after a successful landing.
