SpaceX Successfully Launches 22 Starlink Satellites After Delay

The mission faced weather and technical challenges before achieving liftoff from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 40.

The launch marked SpaceX's 65th mission of the year, with the company aiming for 148 missions in 2024.
The reusable first stage booster returned to the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.
This launch adds to SpaceX's growing Starlink constellation, now exceeding 6,100 satellites in orbit.
The mission was initially delayed due to an abort at T-0, requiring a replacement booster.
Weather conditions posed a 50% chance for launch success, decreasing to 20% by the end of the window.
