SpaceX sets booster reuse mark on Falcon 9 Starlink launch
Posted: Tue, Mar 16, 2021, 8:58 PM ET (0058 GMT) 
SpaceX launched another set of Starlink satellites early Sunday, setting a booster reuse record in the process. The Falcon 9 lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center at 6:01 am EDT (1001 GMT) and released 60 Starlink satellites into orbit a little more than an hour later. The launch was the second Falcon 9 mission in three days, each carrying Starlink satellites. The first stage of the rocket on Sunday's launch was on its ninth flight, a company record for booster reuse, and successfully landed on a droneship in the Atlantic.
