SpaceX fires off two Starlink batches from opposite coasts in one day
TL;DR Summary
SpaceX kicked off and closed the day with two Starlink launches: 29 satellites (group 10-24) blasted off from Cape Canaveral in the morning, and about 19 hours later 25 more satellites (group 17-27) lifted off from Vandenberg, joining the SpaceX megaconstellation. Both missions succeeded, with the Falcon 9 first stages returning to Earth on droneships (B1080 and B1082), bringing SpaceX’s Starlink fleet past 10,200 satellites in orbit.
