A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 26 Starlink spacecraft lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on California's central coast Monday at 9:15 p.m. EDT (6:15 p.m. local California time; 0115 GMT on May 13).

SpaceX is preparing to deploy another batch of Starlink satellites into orbit three nice after another launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

SpaceX launched two batches of Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 rocket in a little more than six hours late Friday/early Saturday from California and Florida.
