(WSPA) -- A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit at 5:23 a.m. Tuesday from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

This mission marked the 26th flight for the first-stage booster supporting the launch.

Residents in the Upstate of South Carolina captured pictures and video of the early-morning launch. The Falcon 9 carried 29 Starlink satellites into orbit.
