A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket set a record Sunday, launching and landing for the 10th time.
The rocket took off early Sunday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to deliver a load of 60 Starlink satellites into orbit.
SpaceX has launched 14 rockets this year that have flown multiple missions. Eleven of those missions were to deploy Starlink satellites. The company is on pace to beat last year’s record 26 flights. This mission marked the 118th overall flight for Falcon 9, and the 64th flight of a refurbished booster. Chief Executive Elon Musk has said the booster could be used as many as 100 times.
The satellites delivered Sunday will join more than 1,600 others that make up SpaceX’s constellation for Starlink, an effort to provide internet coverage to the world. The service is already operational in some areas for beta users. A commercial rollout is expected later this year.
