SpaceX just pulled off a spaceflight tripleheader.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 of the company’s Starlink internet satellites, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, lifted off from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today (March 15) at 7:35 a.m. EDT (1135 GMT).
It was SpaceX’s third launch in a 13-hour span, as the company noted via X this morning.

The rocket flurry began at 7:03 p.m. EDT (2303 GMT) on Friday (March 14), when a Falcon 9 launched the Crew-10 astronaut mission toward the International Space Station from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, which is next door to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
