Watch again: SpaceX launches rocket from Florida's Space Coast overnight
ORLANDO, Fla. - SpaceX lit up the night sky overnight with an early Friday morning launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
A Falcon-9 rocket carried 22 Starlink satellites into orbit at 2:20 a.m., followed by a successful landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic.
Storms that rolled across Central Florida on Thursday evening prompted SpaceX to once again slide the launch time.
SpaceX had originally planned to send its next batch of Starlink satellites during a nighttime launch from Florida on Wednesday.
The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, Intelsat IS-40e, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
SpaceX's Starlink is the constellation of networked satellites aimed to provide internet services to those who are not yet connected and to provide reliable and affordable internet across the globe, according to the Kennedy Space Center.
