A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch 23 Starlink V2 Mini satellites to low Earth orbit on Tuesday night. SpaceX says a little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the first-stage booster will touch down on a droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County Saturday night and the company had warned that residents in the region could hear sonic booms upon the rocket's landing.

The space company is set to launch its Falcon 9 rocket carrying 20 Starlink satellites at 7:31 p.m. Thirteen of the satellites will be carrying Direct to Cell capabilities. It will blast off into orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Another launch opportunity will be on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7:06 p.m.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket early Tuesday with a full OK from the Federal Aviation Administration, its first since a second stage failure on the Crew-8 launch grounded the rocket.

France's Eutelsat and Britain's OneWeb together has a constellation of over 600 low earth orbit satellites for broadcasters, telecom cos, and radio stations

SpaceX launched 20 more of its Starlink broadband satellites, including 13 with direct-to-cell capability, from Florida tonight (Oct. 18).

The liftoff is targeted for 7:31 p.m., but if additional time is needed, Saturday at 7:06 p.m. will be available.
