SpaceX on Saturday launched 28 more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The Falcon 9 with the payload lifted off from Pad 4 East at 7:20 a.m. PDT.

About 8 minutes later, the booster landed at the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. It was the 19th flight for the first stage, including nine previous Starlink missions.

It was the 135th Starlink launch this yearn, more than the record for the entire 2024, from California and Florida. Since its inception in 2019, there have been 522 Starlink mission landings of 562 launches, SpaceX said.

There are more than 8,7000 Starlink satellites in orbit.

The next launch involving Starlink satellites from Vandenberg is scheduled for Monday with a launch window of 4:34 p.m. PDT. The launch was delayed from this Sunday.

In Florida, a Falcon 9 launch of Satarlink satellites is set for 10:05 a.m. EDT Sunday at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This mission was delayed from Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday.
