SpaceX added 24 new Starlink satellites to his orbital network on Friday evening (July 18) from California.
The company’s Falcon 9 rocket was canceled on July 19 at 8:55 p.m. Local (11:52 p.m. EDT or 0352 GMT) from the Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) in the Vandenberg Space Force Base. About nine minutes after the start of the flight, the upper stage of the booster delivered the two dozen satellites in space.
The flight was on the right track to use the Starlink spaceship ship to a low earth orbit an hour later.
