SpaceX launches next Starlink mission off Florida’s Space Coast

Falcon 9 took off at 11:41 p.m.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – SpaceX on Tuesday night once again launched its Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.

The rocket took 24 Starlink satellites into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center. The mission successfully lifted off at 11:41 p.m.

Originally, the launch was scheduled for early Tuesday. No reason was given for the delay.

The 45th Weather Squadron forecasted a less than 5% chance that weather will interfere with the launch attempt.

This was the 15th flight for the first-stage booster used in the mission, which previously launched mPOWER-B, BlueBird-1, USSF-124, Crew-6, and 10 other Starlink missions.
