22 Starlink satellites soar from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral early Friday morning carrying another 22 second-generation Starlink satellites into orbit. Liftoff from pad 40 occurred at 1:17 a.m. EDT (0517 UTC), the last launch opportunity of the night after the Falcon 9 was put in place at the pad too late to make earlier launch attempts. The first stage booster, tailnumber B1069, was making its ninth flight. It previously launched the Cargo Dragon CRS-24, Eutelsat Hotbird 13F, OneWeb 1, and SES-18/SES-19 missions, plus four Starlink deployment flights. Its last flight was the Starlink 5-12 mission on 23 June 2023. More
