SpaceX launches its 11th Starlink mission

SpaceX successfully completed its 11th Starlink mission, adding a further 58 satellites to its growing broadband constellation.  Starlink now has over 600 satellites in orbit.


The launch was also notable because it used a Falcon 9 first-stage booster for the sixth time. The booster was recovered on the remote drone ship. The rocket fairing was also successfully recovered.
