Photos: Falcon takes flight

NASA’s small Lunar Flashlight spacecraft, sent to the moon last year to search for water ice deposits at the lunar south pole, will not be able to complete its science mission after a problem with the probe’s propulsion system.

Follow the key events of the Falcon 9 rocket’s ascent to orbit 60 satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network.

This was the 230th launch of Starlink V2 Mini satellites to date. SpaceX accomplished liftoff of the Starlink 10-21 mission from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 UTC).
