Nov. 22 (UPI) -- SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites early Saturday, the record 101st flight this year from Florida's Space Coast.
The Falcon 9 carrying 29 satellites into low-Earth orbit lifted off at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station's Pad 40 at 2:53 a.m. EST. behind the 1:59 a.m. start of the launch window.
Traveling in a southeast direction, the first-stage booster landed on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean. It was its ninth flight, including three previous Starlink missions and NASA Crew-10.
The drone returned a Falcon 9 booster to Port Canaveral on Thursday and went back to support the latest mission.
