After returning to launch less than 24-hours prior, SpaceX launched yet another batch of Starlink internet satellites from the Space Coast.
After being delayed twice, the Falcon 9 rocket finally leaped off the launch pad at 1:09 a.m. on Sunday, July 28.
Having two launch pads from which the company can launch its Falcon 9 − Pad 39A and Launch Complex 40 − SpaceX has the ability to launch back−to−back from the Space Coast.

Eight and a half minutes after liftoff, the first stage of the rocket landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. This Falcon 9 first stage has flown 13 previous times − this includes the launch of NASA’s Crew 5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, and seven other Starlink missions.
When is the next Florida launch?
On Tuesday, July 30, a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket will lift off at 6:45 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 41. This will mark the final national security mission for the Atlas family of rockets. The USSF-51 mission is a secret payload for the Space Force.
While it is the final national security payload the rocket will carry, this will not be the final Atlas V launch, as there are more to come before the rocket is officially retired.
The ULA Vulcan rocket will replace the now-retired Delta IV and Atlas V rockets.
