SpaceX successfully launched a Starlink mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket carried 23 Starlink internet satellites into orbit. The launch window had weather conditions predicted to be 80-90% favorable by the 45th Weather Squadron. After eight and a half minutes, the Falcon 9 booster landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
Looking ahead, SpaceX is set to launch another Starlink mission on Friday, May 31. Additionally, SpaceX is preparing for a fourth Starship test flight in Boca Chica, Texas, pending regulatory approval. Local meetings will be held in Brevard on June 12-13 for F officials to gather feedback on the proposed Starship site at KSC Pad 39A.
