SpaceX started a stack of Starlink internet from California and returned the booster to Earth on Friday afternoon (March 26).
The Falcon 9 rockets, which flies the mission, Starlink 11-7, was wearing a total of 27 satellites from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The SpaceX rocket was canceled at 6.11.40 p.m. ET (2211 GMT) from the 4E space start.
A little more than eight minutes later, the booster of the first stage of the rocket, B1063, landed on the SpaceX-Droneship “Of course I still love you,” stationed in the Pacific. It was the 24th start and landing for B1063, which previously flew 15 Starlink missions, including the youngest, a Starlink mission in January.

The upper level Falcon 9 was still space to use the Starlink satellites in Low Earth Orbit (Leo) about 60 minutes after the withdrawal as planned. SpaceX announced the successful use on X.
According to satellite trackers and astrophysicists Jonathan McDowell, these satellites are connected to a megakonal position of over 7,100 Starlink satellites in Leo. Together, the Global Orbital Mesh offers Starlink customers on the planet with low latency and high speed.
