BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – After days of delays, SpaceX finally pulled off an overnight launch of its latest Starlink mission from Florida’s Space Coast.
The liftoff was planned for Tuesday night before the launch time slid into Wednesday morning.
While no reason was given for the scrub, the company was eventually able to launch the Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink satellites on Wednesday at 10:34 p.m.
The rocket sent another batch of 21 Starlink communications satellites into orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
