SpaceX’s reusability juggernaut kept rolling with a Space Coast launch Saturday night that marked the 200th time the company has relied on a previously launched booster to get its payloads to space.

Axar.az reports that a Falcon 9 rocket flying on the Starlink 6-18 mission carrying 22 of its Starlink satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 11:38 p.m.

The first-stage booster made a record-tying 17th flight with a recovery landing down range on the droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean. It marked the 200th reuse of a booster among its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. It’s the 228th recovery since the first success in December 2015. SpaceX has not lost a first stage since February 2021 nailing 154 attempts in a row since.
