SpaceX has launched the Starlink 11-5 mission at 7:16am PDT (14:16 UTC) aboard Falcon 9 booster B1075-21 from Space Launch Complex 4E at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, sending another 28 Starlink v2-mini satellites southeast into a 53-degree inclination to low-Earth orbit. Approximately eight minutes later, after completing its mission, the booster returned to planet Earth, landing on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, stationed downrange in the Pacific Ocean, just west

Number of Starlink launches over time 🛰️🌎 This video shows how the number of Starlink satellites has grown over time. The first launch took place in 2019. Since then, more than 4,000 satellites have been sent into orbit. This is currently the largest satellite constellation, but it's unlikely to be the only one. Note that satellites are actually much smaller. They're about the size of a small car or a large sofa and weigh somewhere in between. 🚗 The orbits are shown as of April 2023. 👀 You c
