Sunday's launch was the 49th orbital mission of 2024 already for SpaceX. Thirty-three of this year's 48 launches have been dedicated to building out the Starlink megaconstellation, which currently consists of about 5,900 working satellites.

Meanwhile, the Falcon 9 booster launched on Sunday saw its 15th flight and provided SpaceX with a total of 278 reflights. It had previously been used for nine other Starlink missions, as well as memorable missions such as CRS-27 and Bandwagon-1.

May 8 (UPI) -- SpaceX on Wednesday plans to launch 43 Starlink satellites from Florida and California. The Florida liftoff from NASA's Kennedy Space Center will be at 11 a.m. EDT, with backup times available until 2:42 p.m.

Spaceflight doubleheaders are far from a novelty for SpaceX these days. On March 30, for example, the company launched two missions — a Starlink batch and the Eutelsat 36D telecommunications satellite — less than four hours apart, both of them from Florida's Space Coast.

SpaceX's Starlink fleet of nearly 6,000 satellites remains healthy after weekend solar storms sparked auroras across the world.

Major geomagnetic activity has battered Earth’s magnetosphere, pushing Starlink satellites to their limits and causing significant disruptions to navigation and communication networks. Conditions escalated to level 5 on the geomagnetic activity scale,
