SpaceX Successfully Launches Falcon 9 Rocket

SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Saturday, carrying 22 Starlink satellites into orbit. The launch took place at 3:02 p.m., with backup opportunities available until 6:47 p.m. on the same day.

The first stage of the rocket, which has flown before, will land on a drone ship called Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean after separating from the second stage. Live webcasts of the mission are available on SpaceX’s website and social media pages, five minutes prior to liftoff.
