SpaceX Space Launch

On April 10, 2024, SpaceX sent 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit through a Falcon 9 rocket. The launch window opened at 1:40 a.m. ET from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The company confirmed the propellant loading process and checked the system as well as the weather ahead of the launch.

Following a successful engine cutoff, the second stage landed on a droneship. This mission marks Booster’s second flight and Falcon’s 295th overall landing.

Two days ago, SpaceX launched the Bandwagon-1 mission from Launch Complex 39A in Florida. There were 11 spacecraft onboard including South Korea’s 425Sat. The company also released 6 of its new Direct-to-Cell (DTC) satellites last week.
