After a one-day delay, SpaceX launched a new round of Starlink satellites from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida just after midnight on Tuesday.

SpaceX has begun counting down to the New Year, with the launch of the first of three rockets planned to close out 2024.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER — SpaceX successfully launched its final Starlink mission of 2024 on Tuesday, Dec. 31, at 12:39 a.m. The launch marked the 134th of the year for SpaceX, including liftoffs from Florida and California.

SpaceX is planning to launch another batch of Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, on a Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday.

The final Falcon 9 launch of Starlink low-orbiting satellites from California this year is scheduled for liftoff this weekend, according to SpaceX. The launch window for 22 internet communication system satellites is between 5:48 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. PST. on Saturday, Dec. 28, from Vandenberg Space Force Base.

SpaceX’s launches of the Crew-8 and Crew-9 missions as well as its flight for Axiom Space on the Ax-3 mission also went to the ISS. The Polaris Dawn mission took billionaire and the next nominee to head NASA, Jared Isaacman, and three others on an orbital mission that featured the first commercial space walk.

Florida's final 2024 tally of 93 orbital launches represents a 29% leap over the previous yearly record of 72, which was just established in 2023.

In what is expected to be SpaceX's final launch in a record-breaking 2024, the company announced it had delayed its newest deployment of Starlink satellites to New Year's Eve.

SpaceX knocked out a midnight launch from Cape Canaveral on Sunday, but has a midnight Monday launch on tap from Kennedy Space Center to cap off a record year for the Space Coast.

The year's last rocket launch from SpaceX is set to blast off from Florida's Space Coast early Tuesday morning.
