Sept. 3 (UPI) -- SpaceX debuted a new Falcon 9 booster as it completed another launch of Starlink satellites from California.
The rocket lifted off at 11:51 p.m. EDT from the Vandenberg Space Force Base, carrying 24 Starlink satellites.
The new Falcon 9 rocket booster B1097 landed on the drone ship "Of Course I still Love You"
The satellites will join the constellation of nearly 8,300 other Starlink satellites, as SpaceX continues to build its network.
Today's launch marked the 109th flight for Falcon 9 rockets and more than 70% of them have been Starlink missions. This was also the 498th booster landing to date.
