SpaceX Successfully Launches 20 Starlink Satellites from California

The mission included 13 satellites with direct-to-cell capabilities and marked the fifth flight for the Falcon 9 booster.

The Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 11:40 p.m. local time.
This launch adds to the over 6,000 satellites in the Starlink constellation, providing global internet coverage.
The first stage booster landed on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You' in the Pacific Ocean.
The mission was SpaceX's 61st orbital liftoff of the year, averaging one launch every 2.8 days in 2024.
An earlier mission in Florida was rescheduled due to high winds, now set for Wednesday.
