SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket flew for the 12th time, left 53 more satellites in the lower orbit of the Earth

SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket for the 12th time and then returned to Earth, which is a record in itself. The Falcon 9 was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on March 19 at 12:24am (ET) and into low Earth orbit at 9:54am IST. The rocket carried 53 satellites of SpaceX’s Starlink Internet. This was the 12th flight of the Falcon 9 first stage. This broke the previous record for reusability of a SpaceX rocket.

Through a tweet, SpaceX confirmed the launch of 53 satellites into low Earth orbit.

In another tweet, the company said that this is the first time the Falcon 9 first stage has landed after its 12th launch.

SpaceX also confirmed the rocket launch on its website. You can watch the launch video below.
Describing the mission, SpaceX representatives said that the Falcon 9 is a reusable, two-stage rocket. It is capable of carrying people and other payloads into low Earth orbit and beyond. It is the world’s first reusable orbital rocket. With its help, we have been able to reduce the cost of our space missions to a great extent.

After launch, the Falcon 9 first stage landed on a droneship called Just Read the Instructions (JRTI) in the Atlantic Ocean, returning to Earth after stage separation.

SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet service provides worldwide internet connectivity. This also includes Ukraine, which has been under continuous attack from Russia for several days, and the country’s communication infrastructure has been badly destroyed.
