SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida

On September 5, 2024, SpaceX launched 21 Starlink satellites to orbit including 13 new Direct to Cell sats to low-Earth orbit. The payload is lifted by a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The company has halted this launch from a previous liftoff date due to unfavorable weather but the weather today allowed SpaceX to proceed with this mission.
