“Deployment of 28 Starlink satellites confirmed.”<\/p>\n

With that statement, posted to social media<\/a>, SpaceX<\/a> wrapped another launch in support of its broadband internet satellite megaconstellation on Sunday (Aug. 31). The 28 Starlink satellites (Group 10-14<\/a>) lifted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station<\/a> in Florida.<\/p>\n

The one-hour and five-minute mission to low Earth orbit<\/a> began at 7:49 a.m. EDT (1149 GMT) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The launch marked the 23rd flight of the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage (Booster 1077). Once again, it was successfully recovered, touching down on the drone ship “Just Read the Instructions” stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

With this mission, the Starlink network now includes more than 8,280 active units out of the over 9,575 satellites launched since 2019, according to tracker Jonathan McDowell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunday’s flight was SpaceX’s 112th mission of 2025, of which 108 were Falcon 9 launches (the other four were suborbital test flights of the company’s Starship).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rocket is seen in slihouette launching to space as it appears to pass by the sun .…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35390,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[270],"tags":[9,1063,18,1831,19,1826,17,5,1828,1827,1829,133,451,1830,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-35389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-daily-news","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-global-news","12":"tag-ie","13":"tag-inkl","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-news-app","17":"tag-news-headlines","18":"tag-news-today","19":"tag-science","20":"tag-space","21":"tag-today-news","22":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
