CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket Wednesday night from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The late-night launch was originally set for 12:14 a.m. on Monday, but the launch was pushed back several times due to high winds.
Liftoff ultimately took place on Wednesday at 10:35 p.m., with 21 Starlink satellites being sent into low-Earth orbit.
This is the 22nd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19 and 17 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
This comes as the Federal Aviation Administration investigates SpaceX after its Starship rocket exploded.
