SpaceX launches Falcon 9 rocket, Starlink mission from Kennedy Space Center

SpaceX successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Monday morning from Kennedy Space Center.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 6:37 a.m., marking the 17th flight for the first-stage booster used in this mission.

The booster, which has supported various missions including SES-22, HAKUTO-R MISSION 1, and 11 previous Starlink launches, successfully landed on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean, WESH 2 has reported.

This launch followed an aborted attempt on Sunday, with SpaceX confirming that both the vehicle and payload were in good condition.
