The American company SpaceX successfully launched another batch of 28 Starlink internet satellites into space on August 28.

This was reported by Space.com.

The Falcon 9 rocket carrying the 28 satellites lifted off at 11:12 AM Kyiv time from a launch site in Florida. The first stage returned to Earth just 8.5 minutes later, landing on the company's drone ship. If everything went according to plan, the upper stage of the Falcon 9, which is expendable, delivered the Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit approximately 64 minutes after liftoff. This marks the 30th launch and landing for this specific first stage of the Falcon 9, setting a record for the company. Such extensive reuse of the first stage is a key part of SpaceX's strategy to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of space travel. Additionally, the company aims to elevate rocket reuse to a new level with its Starship rocket system. According to CEO Elon Musk, each first stage of the Starship rocket being developed to help humanity colonize the Moon and Mars could theoretically launch, land, and relaunch from another planet in under an hour.
