    One month later, SpaceX launched 53 more Starlink satellites, and the first one-rocket "13 fly 13 recovery" Falcon 9 was born. The number of Starlink satellites launched exceeds 2,700. SpaceX has successfully completed 100 rocket reuses so far.
    On June 17, Eastern Time, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 53 Starlink satellites from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This mission is the 13th flight and landing of the first-stage booster. After the first-stage and second-stage separation, the first-stage booster returned and landed. return

    This first-stage booster has previously performed the GPS III-3 mission, the Turkish communications satellite Turksat 5A mission, SpaceX’s second joint launch of the Transporter-2 mission and nine Starlink satellite launches.
    This launch is the 48th batch of "Starlink" satellites deployed by SpaceX's special network since the first batch of 60 "Starlink" satellites took to the sky in May 2019, and the 15th batch of "Starlink" network specially launched this year. Last year, SpaceX set a record of launching 31 Falcon 9 rockets throughout the year, 17 of which were specially deployed for the "Starlink" satellite network launch. landing

    Counting the "Star Chain" satellites that were piggybacked by the previous "carpooling", so far, SpaceX has launched a total of 2,704 "Star Chain" satellites. If you count the two test satellites Microsat-2A and Microsat-2B launched in February 2018, SpaceX has launched 2,706 "Starlink" satellites.
    SpaceX will launch the second generation of Starlink satellites in the future. SpaceX has produced a Starlink 2.0 satellite, the new generation satellite is 7 meters long and weighs 1.25 tons. Musk has said that the extra weight means the satellites are more efficient and perform better, an order of magnitude higher than the Starlink 1.0 satellites.
