"SpaceX's Starlink Doubleheader: 2 Rockets Set for Back-to-Back Launches"

SpaceX is set to launch two batches of Starlink internet satellites today, with liftoffs scheduled just three hours apart. The first launch from Florida's Kennedy Space Center will carry 23 Starlink spacecraft, followed by another launch from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base with 22 more satellites. Both Falcon 9 rockets will attempt to land their first stages on SpaceX drone ships, and the upper stages will deploy the Starlink batches into low Earth orbit. This marks the eighth and ninth launches of the year for SpaceX, which aims for 144 orbital missions in 2024.
