Falcon 9 rocket launches Starlink satellites

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 53 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, and two Starlink missions.

Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage returned to Earth and landed on the droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
