The satellites were released from the payload bay about an hour and five minutes post liftoff.\n<\/p>\n<p>It was the 23rd mission for this first stage reusable fuel booster rocket, according to SpaceX, which returned about 8.5 minutes after launch to the droneship &#8220;A Shortfall of Gravitas,&#8221; stationed in the Atlantic Ocean East of the Bahamas. It&#8217;s the 105th time this barge has been used to retrieve a booster rocket.<\/p>\n<p>The V2 satellites are slightly lighter than the ones that have been deployed so far. SpaceX has developed a slightly larger and heavier version of the next generation of satellites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX launched a fleet of 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48343,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3161],"tags":[3082,70,413,1603,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-48342","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-internet","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-space","11":"tag-spacex","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114396518549601985","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48342"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48342\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48343"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
