BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Space Coast on Tuesday at the targeted time of 9:20 a.m.
The rocket carried a batch of Starlink satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
This is the first flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission. As with other Falcon 9 launches, the booster landed around eight minutes after liftoff on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas on the Atlantic Ocean.
