WATCH AGAIN: SpaceX launches 29 Starlink satellites from Florida
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Less than 24 hours after the historic Artemis II mission launched from the Kennedy Space Center , another rocket took off from Florida’s Space Coast.
At 7:55 a.m. Thursday, SpaceX sent a batch of 29 Starlink satellites into low -Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
It’s the 15th launch for the rocket carrying the mission, which previously launched Crew-9 to the International Space Station.
The first stage landed on the “Just Read the Instructions” droneship in the Atlantic Ocean after separation.
