SpaceX Launches 35th Flight of Falcon 9 Booster on Latest Starlink Mission

SpaceX launched the Starlink Group 10-35 mission from SLC-40 on a Monday morning. The flight used Falcon 9 booster B1067, which completed its 35th flight during the mission. Thousands of Starlink satellites are already in orbit, and additional satellites are launched almost weekly.

The booster's repeated use marks a shift from earlier practices when 35 flights on a single vehicle would have been considered unattainable. The mission added more satellites to the constellation that provides broadband coverage from low Earth orbit.
