The mission marked SpaceX\u2019s 14th launch of the month, a new industry record for launch.<\/p>\n<p>The milestone adds to the record set earlier this week, when SpaceX launched its 13th Falcon 9 to send the European Space Agency\u2019s EarthCARE satellite up to orbit. Liftoff of this latest mission, Starlink 6-64 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, happened at 10:37 p.m. EDT (0237 UTC).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nB_GVyc3DVY\" width=\"678\" height=\"381\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The first stage booster for this mission, tail number B1076 in the SpaceX fleet, launched for a 14th time. It previously launched missions like SpaceX\u2019s 26th Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-26) Dragon flight to the International Space Station, NASA\u2019s TEMPO payload onboard the Intelsat 40e satellite and seven batches of Starlink satellites.<\/p>\n<p>A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1076 landed on the SpaceX droneship, \u2018A Shortfall of Gravitas.\u2019 This was the 73rd landing for ASOG and the 315th booster landing for SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p>The record setting launch comes at the tail end of a week of historic milestones for SpaceX. May 25 was the 12th anniversary of the Dragon spacecraft becoming the first private spacecraft to dock with the ISS. May 30 was the fourth anniversary of the launch of the Demo-2 mission, marking the return of human spaceflight to American soil in the wake of the Space Shuttle\u2019s retirement in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>SpaceX is preparing for two more crewed missions over the course of the summer: Polaris Dawn and Crew-9.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1796245801666232743&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceflightnow.com%2F2024%2F05%2F31%2Flive-coverage-spacex-to-launch-falcon-9-rocket-with-23-starlink-satellites-from-cape-canaveral-2%2F&amp;sessionId=0ffdba2fc7ca1a3622cfdf9fb9999f1dc1be0fb2&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=550px\" data-tweet-id=\"1796245801666232743\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-twitter-extracted-i1782461500491230817=\"true\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today marks the fourth anniversary of Falcon 9 launching @NASA\u2019s Demo-2 mission to the @space_station, returning human spaceflight to the United States pic.twitter.com\/jzwyCwam3l<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SpaceX (@SpaceX) May 30, 2024<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on the Starlink 6-64 mission.
