Space Invasion Starlink launch followers have no rest as SpaceX continues to put Internet satellites in orbit.
Falcon 9 Rocket launched SpaceX’s Starlink 6-93 mission from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) on Tuesday night (May 6th). The lift-off occurred at 9:17pm EDT (0117 GMT on May 7th) CCSFS launch Complex-40 (LC-40) – One of two launch sites the company operates on the Space Coast.
Falcon 9 will carry 28 new Starlink satellites to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and participate in more than 7,200 internet satellite constellations.
Supporting this mission, a vehicle designated as the B1085, the Falcon 9 booster performed a main engine cutoff of nine Merlin engines about 2.5 minutes after flight, followed by stage separation soon after. The B1085 then suffered a retrograde burn, slowing its speed on his way back to Earth as the second stage of the Falcon 9 followed Leo.
About eight minutes after the lift-off, the B1085 safely landed on SpaceX and read the directed drone ship stationed in the Atlantic. This was the seventh release of the B1085 and the third Starlink mission for Booster.
The Rocket’s upper stage continued towards Leo. It will be expanded to a schedule Approximately an hour after the flight. They will pilot the next few days on a more specific trajectory to participate in SpaceX’s growing megaconstellation.
SpaceX’s StarLink network consists of over 7,200 operational satellites and counts. Each of the large table sizes without counting a wide solar array works in the grid and forms a lattice on almost every planet except the poles. StarLink provides customers with high-speed Internet connections from locations where StarLink receivers can be directed towards the sky (other than poles).
The launch on Tuesday was SpaceX’s 53rd Falcon 9 mission in 2025, and this year’s launch of the company’s 36th Starlink. The company also launched two test flights for Starship Megarocke in 2025.
