Another batch of Starlink wireless internet satellites is in orbit after a full moon-lit SpaceX launch from Florida.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Starlink 12-17 mission Saturday night (April 12) from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
The Falcon 9 lifted off from KSC’s historic Launch Complex-39A at 8:53 p.m. EDT (0053 on April 13 GMT), carrying a stack of 21 Starlink satellites toward low Earth orbit (LEO).
