The company is launching a military communications satellite.
After a week of nasty weather across Florida, the business of launching rockets got back on track Monday afternoon.
SpaceX has successfully launched its newest round of Starlink satellites into Earth's lower orbit from a Falcon 9 rocket. Twenty-one total satellites were onboard, and 13 of them have direct-to-cellphone capabilities.
SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from California's central coast today (Jan. 24). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 23 Starlink craft lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base today, at 9:07 a.m. EST (1407 GMT; 6:07 a.m. local time).
SpaceX is targeting Monday, January 27 for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX is targeting a 4½-hour launch window for another Starlink mission from 2:21 p.m. to 6:52 p.m., an FAA operations plan advisory shows.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink satellites to low Earth-orbit from Florida on Monday. Decades of data reveal a monumental separation. The comments come amid increased attention on a global AI race between the U.S. and China.
The media provider stated the satellite strengthens its coverage across the contiguous U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada.
SpaceX on Wednesday night launched a Spanish communications satellite from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and retired the first-stage booster rather than landing on a drone.
The SpainSat NG-1 satellite launched right on time at 8:34 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A. The rocket rumbled as it headed on an eastern trajectory. Just over eight minutes into the flight, the second-stage and satellite were safely in Earth orbit, headed for its final position and altitude.
