SpaceX is planning a Falcon 9 rocket early Friday morning from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The vehicle is slated to lift off from the south base during a 12:00 a.m. – 2:41 a.m. launch window carrying more Starlink satellites.
Weather permitting, the launch could be visible for hundreds of miles for several minutes.
