SpaceX rocket launches from Florida, booster lands near Bahamas Thursday

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket on Feb. 19 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, carrying 29 Starlink internet satellites.

The booster completed its 26th mission and successfully landed on the drone ship Just Read the Instructions off the coast of the Bahamas, marking only the second landing that far south.

The launch lit up the night sky, but no sonic booms were reported in nearby Brevard County.

This flight is part of the Starlink 6-104 mission batch, the Palm Beach Post has reported.

SpaceX’s next Falcon 9 launch from Florida is scheduled for Feb. 20, also from Launch Complex 40.
