SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches 28 Starlink satellites to orbit

SpaceX set a new rocket reuse record as a Falcon 9 booster completed its 28th launch on May 13, carrying 28 Starlink satellites from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The booster, B1067, landed successfully on a drone ship just eight minutes after liftoff. This mission followed another Falcon 9 launch just hours earlier from California, underscoring SpaceX’s rapid launch pace, Space.com has reported. The Starlink network now includes around 7,400 active satellites, making it the largest satellite constellation in orbit.
