SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying nearly two dozen Starlink satellites into orbit from the Space Coast on Sunday night. According to the commercial spaceflight company, the mission lifted off on time at 8:53 pm Sunday from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This Starlink mission sent 23 Starlink Internet satellites into low Earth orbit. The satellites will join a growing constellation of small satellites that provide high-speed Internet around the world. The Falcon 9 first-stage rocket booster supporting the mission has previously flown 14 times. Other missions supported by the rocket booster include ispace’s CRS-27, Bandwagon-1 and HAKUTO-R MISSION 1. SpaceX landed the Falcon 9 first stage booster on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean several minutes after launch.
