SpaceX launches Starlink satellites
Posted: Sun, Mar 3, 2024, 7:14 AM ET (1214 GMT)
SpaceX took advantage of a commercial crew delay to launch another set of Starlink satellites Thursday. A Falcon 9 lifted off at 10:30 am EST (1530 GMT) from Cape Canaveral, deploying 23 Starlink satellites. SpaceX squeezed in the launch after NASA delayed the Crew-8 launch from early Friday to Saturday night because of weather conditions in abort zones. NASA requires at least 48 hours between the previous Falcon 9 launch and a Crew Dragon launch to give engineers time to review data from the prior launch.
