SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink Internet satellites early Tuesday, lifting off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at around 2:10 a.m. EDT. The Falcon 9 rocket carried the satellites into low-Earth orbit, adding to the ever-expanding constellation aimed at providing global high-speed Internet coverage.
The mission began with the rocket launching from Space Launch Complex 40, followed by a successful landing of the first-stage booster on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. This marked the booster's 11th flight, demonstrating SpaceX's ongoing commitment to reusability in its launch operations.
SpaceX confirmed that the weather conditions were "superb" ahead of the launch, ensuring optimal conditions for the mission.
Starlink continues its efforts to deliver low-latency Internet services across the globe through its expanding satellite network.
