    Wednesday evening under clear skies above Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40SpaceX has launched its latest batch of Starlink internet satellites exactly as planned.

    The Falcon 9 launch at 5:10 p.m. EDT was remarkably quiet, depending on where you were in Brevard County, as the rocket ascended on a northeast trajectory.

    About eight minutes after takeoff, the first stage landed on the A lack of gravity droneship in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the distance, Brevard did not hear any sonic booms.

    This mission marked the 14th flight of this specific Falcon 9 booster. Previous missions this booster served on include: nine other Starlink missions, mPOWER-B, BlueBird-1, Crew-6 and USSF-124.

    This wasn’t the only launch on Wednesday. Shortly after 8 a.m. Wednesday, SpaceX launched a previous batch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Station in California.

    SpaceX dual launches from Florida to begin this week

    According to navigation warnings, the Space Coast could undergo a double launch.

    SpaceX plans to launch its Starlink 6-77 mission on Sunday afternoon between 4:57 p.m. and 9:28 p.m. EDT. For this launch, the booster will land on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

    The next day, SpaceX and NASA plan to launch the CRS-31 resupply mission to the International Space Station. Launched atop a Falcon 9 rocket, this Cargo Dragon spacecraft will provide not only supplies, but also multiple experiences to astronauts aboard the ISS. The launch is scheduled for a snap window of 9:29 p.m., as the timing must be calculated correctly to catch the ISS, which is traveling at more than 17,500 miles per hour.

    This Monday evening launch will send a sonic boom throughout Brevard County as the first stage booster returns to a Cape Canaveral landing zone.
