SpaceX last week updated a new record for reusing the first stages of a Falcon 9 rocket. The company repeated the record over the weekend.

Here's What We Know

SpaceX had two Falcon 9 rocket first stages that each made 16 space launches. On 20 September, one of them set a record by making its 17th flight. On 24 September, the other stage did the same.

Falcon 9 has once again sent a batch of Starlink internet satellites into space. The satellites were successfully placed in orbit, and the total number is approaching 5,000. At the same time, SpaceX already has permission to deploy 12,000 satellites. The US aerospace company has plans to increase the Starlink constellation to 30,000 internet satellites.
