SpaceX launches 60 more Starlink satellites on Tuesday, breaking the cycle of friction

Space fans have been hungry for action lately, with three major missions repeatedly scrapped and postponed over the past three weeks. But early Tuesday, SpaceX finally ended that series # Known as Scrubber (And formerly known as #scrubber) with the introduction and distribution of 60 new ones Starlink Satellite Cape Canaveral via Falcon 9 rocket.

This was the entire third flight of the Starlink mission Falcon 9 rocket booster. It was sent Astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behken In May and then South Korea launches satellite In July. So far, SpaceX has managed to launch and land the same rocket Six times.

Falcon 9 First Stage About 8.5 minutes after the start of Tuesday in the Atlantic I still love you. SpaceX also reported that it captured at least one fairing half that flew over the last two missions.

The start, originally scheduled for September, has been postponed several times, including reading twice in the past week due to heavy clouds and another minor ground sensor. Monday’s rubbing was then blamed on the weather.

Another SpaceX mission to launch the US Space Force GPS satellite Friday has also been scorched several times. Meanwhile, United Launch Alliance is trying to get one of its Delta IV heavy rockets Out of the ground since August, but has been delayed at least six times.

Musk expressed his frustration with the Scrubs series last week.

“We need a lot of improvement to get a chance to complete 48 openings next year!” Musk tweeted on Friday.

Mast is certainly happy to see the magic of Saskatchewan break. This is the 13th Starlink mission to date, and SpaceX is planning on dozens more as it expands its broadband mega-date.
