The Falcon 9 rocket had a successful launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC) at 10:46 p.m. <\/p>\n<p>This marks the 33rd flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, SES 03B, PSN SATRIA Telkomsat Merah Putih 2, Galileo L13, and 20 Starlink missions. <\/p>\n<p>The first stage landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean following subsequent phases.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, no sonic booms were heard in Brevard County, as the booster landed out on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean. It remains to be seen just how many flights a single Falcon 9 booster will achieve.<\/p>\n<p>The next Falcon 9 rocket launch from Florida is scheduled for no earlier than 3:56 p.m. on February 24 at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission will carry the next batch of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites, designated Starlink 6-110. The successful landing of the first-stage booster for the 33rd time has essentially ushered in a new era of space economics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX launches another batch of satellites from Cape Canaveral during late-night mission on Saturday SpaceX achieved a major&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311600,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,60,82,247],"class_list":["post-311599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
