SpaceX launched 29 Starlink satellites from Florida, despite the unfavorable weather, using the Falcon 9 rocket.

SpaceX successfully launched 29 Starlink satellites from Florida on Monday morning, despite challenging weather conditions. The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:25 AM EST (05:25 GMT) and managed to surpass strong winds and the cloud ceiling. Approximately 8 minutes and 40 seconds after liftoff, the rocket's upper stage deployed the Starlink broadband internet relay satellites (Group 6-82). After separation, the rocket's first stage successfully landed on the autonomous barge 'A Shortfall of Gravitas' in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the ninth flight of the reusable booster B1092. This launch was the 163rd flight of a Falcon 9 rocket since 2025, continuing the expansion of the Starlink network, with another flight scheduled for Tuesday from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
