SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from Pad LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on September 3, 2023. This mission carried another batch of Starlink satellites to orbit and it was a record-breaking 62nd orbital launch of the year for SpaceX. There have been 46 launches from Cape Canaveral / Kennedy Space Center this year, with all but two coming from SpaceX.

The launch was captured from several angles and this video was assembled using Florida Media Now’s Mark Stone and my elements, then edited together by me. It was a true team effort.

SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites late in the evening of 08-16-2023. Here’s a quick video of the launch.
Also, this is the first time I have used my own music as a video background track. Be gentle in your judgment I mess around for fun and have no illusions of any talent.
In the early hours of Friday, August 11, 2023, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 carrying the Starlink 6-9 mission. Here’s a unique video view of the night-time launch.
After a couple of short delays, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 last night from Cape Canaveral, Florida, lofting Starlink 6-8 — twenty-two second-generation Starlink satellites to orbit. The launch was picture-perfect, with the rocket clearly visible for several minutes after liftoff and even well past staging. Thunderstorms well off to the north and east-southeast added to the light show, with dozens of lightning strokes clearly visible but far away enough not to violate any range safety rules.

(Cape Canaveral Florida) SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 carrying Intelsat’s Galaxy 37 communications satellite at 1:00 am EDT on August 3, 2023, after short delays due to weather in the area. Liftoff was scheduled initially for 12:15 am, but small rain showers on or near Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s SLC-40 violated launch criteria, leading to two changes in the planned T-0 time.
SpaceX Starlink 6-6 finally dodged the Florida summer weather and made its way to space early in the evening of July 23, 2023. The launch was from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral.
