The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:56 a.m. EDT.

No sonic booms were heard from the launch.

The booster, on its 14th flight, landed on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:04 a.m.

SpaceX debuted a new Falcon 9 booster as it completed another launch of Starlink satellites from California.

The rocket lifted off at 11:51 p.m. EDT from the Vandenberg Space Force Base, carrying 24 Starlink satellites.

The satellites will join the constellation of nearly 8,300 other Starlink satellites, as SpaceX continues to build its network.

Today's launch marked the 109th flight for Falcon 9 rockets and more than 70% of them have been Starlink missions. This was also the 498th booster landing to date.
