WATCH: A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on the Starlink 10-62 mission on Sunday, March 22.
SpaceX launched a mid-morning flight of its Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, its 37th launch of the year.
The Starlink 10-62 mission features 29 of SpaceX’s Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites, which were deployed into low Earth orbit about an hour after liftoff.
The launch took place at 10:47 a.m. EDT (1447 UTC) from Space Launch Complex 40, with the Falcon 9 rocket flying on a northeasterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.
SpaceX launched the mission using the Falcon 9 first-stage booster with the tail number 1078. This was its 27th flight after launching missions such as NASA’s Crew-6, USSF-124, and 21 Starlink satellite batches.
Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1078 landed on the drone ship, ‘A Shortfall of Gravitas,’ positioned in the Atlantic Ocean.
This was the 148th landing on this vessel and the 590th booster recovery for SpaceX to date.
