A Falcon 9 rocket takes off Tuesday with 60 Starlink satellites. Credit: SpaceXSpaceX plans to return the drone ship and Falcon 9 booster to Port Canaveral, Florida, from the recovery area a few hundred miles east of Charleston, South Carolina. Ground crews at Cape Canaveral are expected to inspect and refurbish the rocket for a 10th flight. (...)
The launch Tuesday marked the 100th straight successful Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy mission without an in-flight failure, a streak stretching back to June 2015. It was the 91st successful mission for SpaceX since a Falcon 9 rocket exploded during a pre-flight test at Cape Canaveral in September 2016, destroying the launch vehicle and an Israeli-owned communications satellite, and damaging SpaceX’s launch pad.
The Starlink satellites are built on SpaceX’s assembly line in Redmond, Washington.
The 1,565 Starlink satellites launched today include prototypes and failed spacecraft that have dropped out of orbit and burned up in the atmosphere. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer and expert tracker of spaceflight activity,
says more than 1,400 Starlink satellites are currently in orbit, not counting the 60 spacecraft launched Wednesday night. (...)

With the deployment of today’s latest 60-strong batch of Starlinks, a total of 1,563 “production-design” satellites have been placed into orbit since May 2019, more than a quarter of which have launched atop B1049. And with ten of the 13 Falcon 9 missions launched since January having been totally dedicated to Starlink, no fewer than 610 satellites have headed uphill to date in 2021. Although 2020 achieved a higher overall number—833 in 14 missions between January and November—it is nevertheless impressive that 2021’s running total has been launched within the first half of the year.
