A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 11:20 p.m. on 27 November 2023. After stage separation, the Falcon 9 first stage landed on the Just Read The Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
