SpaceX launches another batch of Starlink satellites from Florida

SpaceX has launched another batch of Starlink satellites from Florida's Space Coast on Thursday.

A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station just after 6 a.m., sending 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit.

This marked the 28th flight for the first stage booster, which previously supported 20 Starlink missions and NASA's Crew-5 launch.

Following first stage separation, the booster landed on the droneship "A Shortfall of Gravitas," which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
