SpaceX launched another 23 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to orbit tonight from Kennedy Space Center, right at the end of the planned launch window. Liftoff was at 10:45 PM EDT from Pad LC-39A.

Booster B1077 completed its 13th mission successfully after it touched down on the droneship ASDS ‘Just Read The Instructions’ northeast of The Bahamas about 8.25 minutes after liftoff. JRTI will return to Port Canaveral after a few days, and the booster will be returned to SpaceX’s Hangar X at Kennedy Space Center for inspection, refurbishment and preparation for its next flight.

At 11:52 PM EDT, SpaceX announced that the payload had been successfully deployed, marking another 100% successful launch by the company.
