Dual Falcon 9 Launches Push Starlink Milestone | JQJO

Two Falcon 9 rockets lifted off from Florida and California on Sunday, adding 56 Starlink satellites and pushing SpaceX past 10,000 mass-produced spacecraft delivered to low-Earth orbit—10,006 by one expert’s count. “From Tintin to 10,000,” a launch director said as the California mission deployed 28 satellites that will climb from 160 to about 332 miles. SpaceX now has 8,664 functioning Starlink satellites, including 7,448 in operational orbit, and more than 7 million subscribers. The Florida launch also flew a Falcon 9 booster for a record 31st time.
