SpaceX successfully launched another batch of 23 Starlink internet satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on October 30, at 5:10 p.m. EDT.

The Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage returned to Earth, landing on the droneship “A Shortfall of Gravitas” in the Atlantic Ocean approximately eight minutes after liftoff.

The upper stage is expected to deploy the satellites into low Earth orbit about 64 minutes post-launch, Space.com has reported.

With over 100 Falcon 9 missions already completed in 2024, SpaceX operates nearly 6,500 Starlink satellites and continues to expand its satellite constellation.
