Aug. 27 (UPI) — SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Wednesday morning, adding another 28 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit.
The Starlink mission 10-56 lifted off at 7:10 a.m. with 80% favorable weather. It used the Falcon 9 first-stage booster, tail number 1095, as it flew for the second time.
The rocket’s first stage launched out at sea at 7:18 a.m. aboard the SpaceX drone ship, “Just Read the Instructions.”
Unlike a previous flight during which a sonic boom could be heard on the Space Coast, no sonic booms occurred on this mission.
On Thursday, at the Kennedy Space Center FAA officials will take public comments on Starship-Super Heavy environmental impacts generated by future launches and landing.
