Posted: Sat, Jun 29, 2024, 1:08 PM ET (1708 GMT)
SpaceX performed two launches of Starlink satellites Sunday. One Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 1:15 pm EDT (1715 GMT), placing 22 Starlink satellites into orbit. The mission, designated Starlink Group 10-2, was scheduled to take place a week and a half ago but suffered a rare abort at engine ignition. SpaceX used a different booster for this launch. The mission also featured the first launch that flew a payload fairing half for the 20th time. SpaceX followed up that launch with a Falcon 9 liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 11:47 pm EDT (0347 GMT Monday). The second launch put 20 Starlink satellites into orbit, 13 with direct-to-cell payloads.
