CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX has two launches happening Friday morning — one from the Space Coast and one on Wall Street.
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The rocket carried 29 Starlink satellites for the company’s internet service into space.
Afterward, the first-stage booster landed on the “A Shortfall of Gravitas” droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
This was the 27th flight for this first-stage booster.
Meanwhile, SpaceX officially went public on Friday, meaning investors have a chance to buy stock in the aerospace, internet and AI company.
Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Exchange.
