SpaceX sent another 22 Starlink satellites into space Saturday night from Vandenberg SFB in northwestern Santa Barbara County.
Liftoff for the Falcon 9 rocket was at 5:58 PM
This was the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SARah-2, Transporter-11, SDA-0A, and 12 Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast, about eight minutes after launch.
About an hour after launch, the second stage successfully deployed the satellites into low earth orbit.
