BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX has racked up another launch from Florida’s Space Coast.

The company sent 27 new Starlink satellites into orbit early Monday.

The rocket lifted off at 1:58 a.m.

Eight minutes into the launch, the rocket’s booster landed on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

The mission had been delayed from Sunday morning.

It was the 57th Starlink launch of the year.

The satellites continue to expand Starlink’s global internet network.
