CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION, Fla. – A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lit up the skies early Wednesday from Florida’s Space Coast.
The launch of 23 Starlink satellites from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station was originally scheduled for just after 11 p.m. Tuesday but was delayed until 2:47 a.m. Wednesday.
The first-stage of the rocket landed on a droneship in the Atlantic after separation.
This was the 65th launch of the year from the Space Coast, extending the ongoing annual record.
The launch came just a few days after another successful SpaceX liftoff from the Cape.
