About 10 minutes after launch, the Falcon 9 first-stage booster returned and landed entirely on the Ocean of Space X, away from the Space X’s drone ship in the Atlantic.
The launch team called a scrub for Thursday’s effort, citing a camera issue on the rocket’s second leg.
The crew spent the last two days resolving the issue and inspecting the entire vehicle.
The constellation exceeded 700 after another launch last Sunday morning. Starlink will allow people around the world to access it without internet.
Last Sunday was both a launch and landing success.
