SpaceX conducted a successful launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Friday afternoon.
At 12:29 p.m. a Falcon 9 rocket carried 48 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East.
This is the 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
A live webcast of this mission was recorded and is available to view below:
