SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Vehicle Lifting off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida

On May 2, 2024, SpaceX deployed 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The mission was carried by a Falcon 9 reusable launch vehicle at 10:37 p.m. targeted window.

The mission was confirmed 35 minutes before the launch, and the auto sequence started along with the fueling of the Falcon 9 vehicle. The weather gave a go for this liftoff and made it work.

The first stage of the mission landed on a droneship completing its 19th orbital flight. The company has previously used this booster to fly CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-a, PSN SATRIA, Telekomsat Merah Putih 2, and 10 Starlink satellite mission including this one.
