The Atlas V rocket launched from the Florida Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Monday, at 6:54 a.m. EDT, carrying 27 satellites to become part of its Project Kuiper constellation, which aims to provide Internet service to customers worldwide.

ULA scrubbed the initial Project Kuiper 2 launch try about 35 minutes before liftoff, citing an elevated purge temperature within a booster engine.

The launches were the 52nd and 53rd orbital rocket liftoffs thus far this year from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
