A Falcon 9 rocket launched SpaceX 's Starlink 6-93 mission Tuesday night (May 6) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida. Liftoff occurred at 9:17 p.m. EDT (0117 GMT on May 7) from CCSFS's Launch Complex-40 (LC-40) — one of two launch sites the company operates on the Space Coast.

Following stage separation, the rocket's first-stage booster landed on the SpaceX drone ship Just Read the Instructions out in the Atlantic Ocean.

Rather than shortly after sunset, SpaceX crews are now targeting 9:17 p.m. for tonight's Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. This Falcon 9 will carry 28 Starlink satellites for deployment into low-Earth orbit.
