Space coast photographer Lau Brown captured these images looking north over the Banana River Hwy 528 at 1:09 AM July 28th of the SpaceX Starlink 10-4 mission. This is the second of three back to back Return to Flight missions by SpaceX to prove to the FAA that the changes to the second stage engine from the California Starlink 9-3 mission failure back on July 11th is now properly corrected.
After the Starlink 10-4 mission from the Space Coast SpaceX launched just four hours and thirteen minutes later from California Starlink 9-4 at 5:22 AM for the third launch in less than two days. Now that all three SpaceX drone ships (ASOG, JRTI, OCISLY) are ferrying boosters back to port the next SpaceX launch will be Starlink 10-6 Friday August 2nd with a four hour window starting at 12:19 AM EDT.
