As thunderstorms and heavy rain rattled Florida's Space Coast the night before, the weather cleared for a beautiful morning rocket launch.

The early morning liftoff occurred 5:10 a.m. Tuesday, July 14 from Launch Complex 40 in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

The mission, known as Starlink 10-45, saw a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket deliver 29 of the company's Starlink internet satellites to orbit. It marked the 47th rocket of the year from Florida.

No Brevard County sonic booms were heard. The first-stage booster landed on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
