BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX early Tuesday launched another batch of Starlink satellites from Florida’s Space Coast.
The launch was originally scheduled for Monday morning but was pushed back a day. Liftoff happened at 5:15 a.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Twenty-one more Starlink satellites will make the trip to low-Earth orbit as the Falcon 9’s first-stage booster landed on SpaceX’s Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic following what will be its 21st flight.
The same booster was used to launch OneWeb 1, SES 18+19, Eutelsat HOTBIRD-F1, CRS-24 and 16 other Starlink missions, according to SpaceX.
