BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX launched more Starlink satellites Monday morning after it was rescheduled from Sunday.
This launch comes after Saturday’s launch of 21 Starlink units.
Monday’s launch sent 23 more of the internet satellites into low-Earth orbit atop a Falcon 9 rocket.
The Sunday launch was scheduled to take off at 10:59 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, but a countdown hold was announced with less than a minute until liftoff.
Today's Falcon 9 launch of @Starlink was paused at T-46 seconds. Vehicle and payload are in good health and teams are resetting for a launch attempt on Monday, August 12
