SpaceX launched 28 Starlink satellites from Florida on Wednesday morning.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 7:56 a.m. EDT.

No sonic booms were heard from the launch.

The booster, on its 14th flight, landed on the drone ship "A Shortfall of Gravitas" in the Atlantic Ocean at 8:04 a.m.

The launch took place after SpaceX launched 24 more Starlink satellites from California in the debut of a new Falcon 9 on Tuesday night.

SpaceX debuted a new Falcon 9 booster as it completed another launch of Starlink satellites from California.

The rocket lifted off at 11:51 p.m. EDT from the Vandenberg Space Force Base, carrying 24 Starlink satellites.

The new Falcon 9 rocket booster B1097 landed on the drone ship "Of Course I still Love You"

The satellites will join the constellation of nearly 8,300 other Starlink satellites, as SpaceX continues to build its network.

Today's launch marked the 109th flight for Falcon 9 rockets and more than 70% of them have been Starlink missions. This was also the 498th booster landing to date.
