BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Roughly two hours before a planned splashdown of a SpaceX capsule carrying stuck astronauts, SpaceX launched another Starlink mission from the Space Coast.
SpaceX launched the 23 satellites on Tuesday – including 13 equipped with Direct to Cell capabilities – aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 3:57 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

This mission marks the 19th flight for the Falcon 9′s first-stage booster, which has previously supported several significant missions, including Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, and 11 Starlink missions.
After stage separation, the first stage is expected to land on the droneship “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
