After a one-day delay, SpaceX knocked out a routine Starship launch early Sunday to tie the Space Coast’s annual orbital launch record.

A Falcon 9 on the Starlink 10-51 mission carrying 29 satellites launched from Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39-A at 3:10 a.m.

This was the 28th flight of the first stage booster, which made a recovery landing downrange on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas stationed in the Atlantic.

The Saturday launch attempt was scrubbed with under a minute before liftoff because of bad weather in the booster recovery area.
