SpaceX carried another batch of Starlink satellites on Wednesday (April 19).
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 of SpaceX's new Starlink "V2 mini" satellites took off at 10:31 a.m. ET (1431 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 40 at Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, after two slight delays earlier in the day for undisclosed reasons.
About 8 minutes and 26 seconds after launch, the rocket's first stage landed on the autonomous SpaceX droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas nearby in the Atlantic Ocean, within view of a livestream from SpaceX.
It was the space company's 25th launch of 2023 so far, according to statistics provided in the broadcast, along with this Falcon 9 first-stage booster's eighth launch overall.
