SpaceX makes its 200th successful launch of a Falcon 9 rocket

US aerospace company SpaceX has sent another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit. The launch marked the Falcon 9 rocket's 200th successful launch.

The rocket was launched from the Kennedy Space Center pad. The first stage separated 150 seconds after launch. This was the fifth launch for her. Approximately 6 minutes later, it landed on the unmanned platform A Shortfall of Gravitas.

Falcon 9 has orbited 53 Starlink satellites. The total number of spacecraft in orbit to provide broadband Internet access has exceeded 3,800. An hour after the launch, SpaceX officially confirmed that the satellites had been put into orbit.

In the future, Elon Musk's company wants to use the giant Super Heavy rocket and Starship spacecraft for this purpose. But they are still in development. A debut launch is expected before the end of the first quarter of 2023.
