Tacking another record onto an already record-setting year, SpaceX picked up the slack from an uncharacteristically quiet midmonth to wrap up the final days of a busy June on Thursday, delivering an additional 23 Starlink internet communications satellites into low-Earth orbit. The veteran B1062 booster—which became the first Falcon 9 core to launch a 22nd time—rose ponderously from storied Space Launch Complex (SLC)-40 at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:14 a.m. EDT for SpaceX’s 66th mission of the year and the ninth so far in June alone.

Atop its Falcon 9 rockets, commercial spaceflight outfit SpaceX launched two batches of its Starlink internet satellites into orbit Sunday — one from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, and the other from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The east coast launch included 22 Starlink satellites, while the California launch carried 20, including 13 that have direct-to-cell communications capabilities. Both Falcon 9 rockets landed on SpaceX droneships in the ocean, minutes after launch, as planned.

On Tuesday, Florida’s Space Coast was treated to a stunning sight when SpaceX’s tenth Falcon Heavy lifted off of Launch Complex 39A. Onboard the rocket was NASA’s GOES-U satellite, which will continue a six-decade legacy of monitoring Earth’s weather from space. A nearly cloudless sky and a launch window which opened less than three hours before sunset combined to generate spectacular visuals. AmericaSpace’s photography team was on site to capture images and videos of the latest GOES satellite’s climb to orbit. As usual, the Falcon Heavy’s unique configuration resulted in memorable images, which are available in the photo gallery at the end of this article.
