SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites into orbit early Friday morning from the Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A.
The Falcon 9 rocket blasted off at 1 a.m., EDT, with the first stage returning to Earth to stick its Atlantic Ocean landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas.
SpaceX moved back the launch for nearly an hour into the launch window, which started at 12:19 a.m.
