SpaceX Notches Another Success On Tuesday With Flawless Starlink Launch

In addition to safely returning 4 astronauts from the International Space Station yesterday, SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday afternoon at 3:57 p.m. The rocket’s first-stage booster landed safely a few minutes after liftoff on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean. The next launch from here on the Space Coast is another SpaceX Falcon 9, which is set to lift off at 8pm from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It’s a top secret government launch, with a classified payload for the US National Reconnaissance Office.
