The launch was supposed to be the first of back-to-back Starlink Satellites launches.
Starlink Satellites is SpaceX’s broadband constellation, which is tremendous
SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites to a low Earth trajectory and landed the returning rocket at sea last August 16, 2023.
A Falcon 9 rocket completed with the Starlink satellites lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on Wednesday at 11:36 p.m.
The Falcon came back to Earth, landing at sea on the SpaceX drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. It was the 13th Starlink satellites launch and landing for this particular booster.

The rocket is carrying the 22 Starlink satellites toward LEO or low Earth orbit. If all goes according to plan, the spacecraft will be deployed there about 65 minutes after the Starlink satellites launch.
Last Wednesday, its liftoff was the first of planned back-to-back Starlink satellite missions. A different Falcon 9 was scheduled to loft 21 of the Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California last Thurs. That didn’t happen, and SpaceX pushed that second Starlink satellites launch back to last Friday morning.
