SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites into low-earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday, June 16 shortly after 8:30 p.m. PDT.
SpaceX launched the 26 Starlink satellites from the Central California base and it was seen all across the sky in San Diego County.
A relatively new Falcon 9 rocket, making only its third flight, lifted off at 8:36 p.m. PDT local from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The satellites (Group 15-9, according to SpaceX's website) reached low Earth orbit about eight and a half minutes later and were on track to be deployed after a second burn of the Falcon's upper stage at approximately an hour into the mission.
