On Wednesday, March 9 at 8:45 a.m. EST, Falcon 9 launched 48 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This was the fourth launch and landing of this Falcon 9 first stage booster, which previously launched Arabsat-6A, STP-2, and COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation FM2.
SpaceX's launch director, just before the Starlink mission took off, with a mischevious reference to the Russian space agency chief Rogozin's recent comments:
"Time to let the American broomstick fly and hear the sounds of freedom. LD is go for launch."
