A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Sunday carrying 22 more second-generation Starlink satellites into orbit, breaking a launch pad turnaround record.

SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 more Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit Thursday night after scrapping plans for a launch double-header with a Falcon Heavy rocket. The Falcon 9 lifted off from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12:01 a.m. EDT (0401 UTC).

Stormy weather forced SpaceX to scrub Saturday’s launch of the Falcon 9 before the completion of propellant load. The next launch opportunity carrying 22 more second-generation Starlink satellites is Sunday at 7:09 p.m. EDT (2309 UTC).
