SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched 23 Starlink satellites into orbit Monday night, the company announced on X.
The space technology company’s launches out of the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California can often be seen from the Las Vegas Valley.
The rocket launched just after 6 p.m. to “low-Earth orbit” from the base, the company said in a news release. This is the 23rd flight for the rocket.
