Watch live: SpaceX launches Starlink satellites on brand new Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral

Watch a replay of our live coverage from Cape Canaveral as SpaceX launched a brand new Falcon 9 rocket with 23 satellites for the company’s Starlink internet service, including 13 equipped for direct-to-cellphone communication.

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station occurred on Tuesday, May 20 at 11:19 p.m. EDT (0319 UTC on the 21st). The first-stage booster, making its first flight, landed on SpaceX’s drone ship ‘Just Read the Instructions,’ stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, a little more than eight minutes after leaving the launch pad.

The mission, designated Starlink 12-15, took a south-easterly trajectory on departure from Florida’s Space Coast.
