SpaceX launched a set of Starlink satellites Tuesday morning. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 10:45 am EST (1545 GMT) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California and placed 27 Starlink satellites into orbit. The launch carried more satellites than on recent flights, which SpaceX said was due to design changes that reduced the mass of individual satellites. The launch also featured the 400th landing of a booster, as the Falcon 9 first stage B1082 completed its tenth flight.
