SpaceX Successfully Launches 22 Starlink Satellites from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX successfully launched 22 second-generation Starlink satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral, bringing the total number of Starlink satellites launched since 2019 to 5,005. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Space Launch Complex 40 and the first stage booster successfully landed on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions. The satellites were placed into the required circular orbit after two burns of the second stage, and separation occurred about one hour and five minutes after launch. SpaceX's internet service, Starlink, currently has over 1.5 million subscribers and is available in more than 60 countries.
