The flight represented the 100th Falcon 9 launch of 2026. Early morning viewers expected to see a jellyfish effect in the sky. Spaceflight Now and Space showed live coverage of the flight.
SpaceX also set out to reveal its Louisiana plans on Aug. 25. Elsewhere, NASA placed its next star space telescope atop a Falcon Heavy rocket. That launch takes place Aug. 30.
