SpaceX launched another big batch of its Starlink internet satellites and landed the returning rocket at sea early Thursday morning (May 4).
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 56 Starlink spacecraft lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Thursday at 3:31 a.m. EDT (0731 GMT).
The Falcon 9's first stage came back to Earth about 8.5 minutes after liftoff, touching down on SpaceX's A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean off the Florida coast.
It was the seventh launch and landing for this particular booster, according to a SpaceX mission description.
