SpaceX Launches Starlink Mission From Cape Canaveral, Booster Breaks Record with 29th Flight

SpaceX launched its second Florida mission in less than 24 hours early this morning, sending 27 Starlink internet satellites into orbit from Cape Canaveral. Liftoff occurred at 2:28 a.m. with the Falcon 9 booster successfully landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking its 29th flight—a new record for a single booster. That launch followed a successful weather satellite mission for the European Space Agency just seven hours earlier.
