Falcon 9 launches Starlink satellites
Posted: Sat, Jun 10, 2023, 10:43 AM ET (1443 GMT)
SpaceX launched another set of next-generation Starlink satellites Sunday. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 8:20 am EDT (1220 GMT) and deployed 22 "v2 mini" Starlink satellites into orbit a little more than an hour later. The launch was scheduled for last week but was postponed after a transporter carrying the satellites inside their payload fairing hit a power line when moving to the launch pad. SpaceX did not disclose if it swapped out the satellites or the fairing for new ones.
