SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from its West Coast launch facilities early Tuesday morning. The mission deployed 25 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The launch, originating from Vandenberg, was widely visible across the region. Many residents reported seeing the bright ascent of the rocket in the pre-dawn sky as it climbed towards orbit.
This latest mission contributes to the expanding constellation of Starlink satellites, designed to provide global broadband internet access. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
