SpaceX Falcon 9 Liftoff

On February 15, 2024, SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The space exploration rocket maker firm continues to increase its satellite constellation into orbit to provide internet services for customers.

This counts as the third launch through February 14 and 15 including the USSF-124 and Intuitive Machine IM-1 lunar mission from the first day.

The liftoff for this Starlink mission was also planned for Feb. 14th but was delayed due to some internal reasons. However, all three missions were carried out as planned.

With this success, the first stage completed its second launch and previously supported two Starlink satellites launched into orbit. This mission also wraps up SpaceX’s 15th launch for this year.
