SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, which launched another constellation of Starlink microsatellites, as well as a communications satellite from the American company AST SpaceMobile.

The launch from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral (Florida) took place at 21:20 local time (04:20 Moscow time Sunday). 34 Starlink satellites were launched into low Earth orbit, as well as the BlueWalker 3 of AST SpaceMobile from Texas. The first stage of the launch vehicle has previously been used in 13 launches. After the launch, the stage automatically descended smoothly onto a floating platform in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX has already announced that the next launch will take place on September 13 - the company will send 54 more Starlink satellites into orbit.
