SpaceX has just performed three Falcon9 rocket launches and landings on three consecutive days, with the missions taking place within just 36 hours.
SpaceX has just performed three Falcon 9 rocket launches and landings across just three days. In fact, the missions got off the ground within a mere 36 hours, marking the quickest trio of successive launches ever performed by a private spaceflight company.
Putting the controversy to one side, mission controllers sent the first of the three rockets skyward on Friday, June 17, at just after noon ET. The rocket departed Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying with it 53 Starlink satellites for SpaceX’s internet-from-space project. The first-stage booster returned safely, landing upright on a droneship waiting in the Atlantic Ocean.
The flight marked the third launch and landing for this particular Falcon 9 booster, which previously launched the NROL-87 and NROL-85 missions.
