The spacecraft took off at 6:56 pm local time, from Complex 39 A at Kennedy Space Station, Cape Canaveral and after a flight of eight minutes and 30 seconds, Falcón 9 completed its mission to successfully land on its floating platform in the Atlantic.

The Falcon 9 two-stage rocket blasted off with a satellite beam on its front and returned to land on the platform that was dubbed “Of course I still love you” (of course I still love you), and with it some accessories used for the mission can be used again by Space X, the company said.

It is worth noting that since 2010 this ship has made no fewer than 116 launches and Elon Musk considers it a “working horse”. Project Musk aims to place about 1,584 Starlink satellites into Earth’s orbit, 549 kilometers from the Earth’s crust.
