Kenya, May 13 -- SpaceX has made history by successfully launching and landing the Falcon 9 rocket booster for the 28th time during the Starlink 6-83 mission.
This mission took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and sent 28 Starlink satellites into space to improve internet access around the world.
SpaceX also showed how efficient they are by launching two Falcon 9 rockets in a row from California and Florida. This highlights their ability to launch rockets quickly.
The Falcon booster, known for its many flights, has now completed its 28th launch and landing.
The team worked hard to achieve back-to-back launches from both locations, including this amazing 28th flight for a rocket designed for orbital missions.
The Super Heavy booster, named Booster 14, is being prepared for its second launch for the Starship Flight 9 test. It is moving to the launch area, with the flight planned to take place as soon as May 21st.
The Falcon 9 rocket has now made history with its 28th launch, while two other rockets from its fleet are waiting in Port Canaveral to launch again.
SpaceX aims to have the Starship Flight 9 launch on May 21, with a time window from 6:30 PM to 8:34 PM local time. This could be the first time a Starship launches at night!
It's important to note that the booster used for this upcoming flight has flown before during Starship Flight 7. This will be the first time a booster is used again for a Starship launch.
