SpaceX Falcon 9 launches 29 Starlink satellites on 35th flight

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral on the night of July 10, marking the vehicle’s 35th flight. The mission carried 29 Starlink broadband satellites, which were successfully placed into low‑Earth orbit after the booster’s first‑stage separation and subsequent landing on the autonomous drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

The launch adds to SpaceX’s ongoing effort to expand the Starlink constellation, which now comprises thousands of operational satellites providing global internet coverage. Reusing the Falcon 9’s first stage for the 35th time underscores the company’s commitment to cost‑effective, high‑frequency launch operations. SpaceX has indicated that additional Starlink deployments are scheduled throughout the year, aiming to increase network capacity and service availability worldwide.
