If you’re up early Thursday morning, you might get a good view of the latest rocket launch from the Tri-Counties. SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, carrying a payload of 21 communications satellites into orbit.
The launch was originally set for 12:01 a.m. It was bumped to 3:35 a.m.
The reusable first stage booster is set to land on a barge off the coast, so there shouldn’t be a sonic boom in our region from its reentry.
The Starlink satellites being launched are part of a global network providing internet service to underserved parts of the world.
