Cape Canaveral, FL, USA - June 27, 2024

Early Thursday morning witnessed yet another milestone in SpaceX's ambitious Starlink program as a Falcon 9 rocket roared to life from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral. Scheduled precisely at 7:14 a.m. EDT, the liftoff marked the commencement of the Starlink 10-3 mission, aimed at deploying 23 internet satellites into low-Earth orbit.

Under clear skies, the Falcon 9 ascended gracefully along a northeasterly path, promising no disruptive sonic booms for Central Florida residents. Following separation, the rocket's first-stage booster executed a pinpoint landing on SpaceX's drone ship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 8½ minutes after liftoff.

The successful deployment further solidifies SpaceX's position at the forefront of commercial space exploration, with Starlink continuing to expand its global satellite constellation. This mission underscores SpaceX's commitment to revolutionizing global connectivity through innovative space technology.
