A Central Coast rocket launch which faced multiple delays finally took place from the Central Coast Tuesday morning.
The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was originally supposed to take off from Vandenberg Space Force Base last Thursday morning. It was delayed over a technical issue. The launch was moved to Friday. But then, it was postponed a second time because of concerns that the barge used to recover the reusable first stage booster would be in the path of Hurricane Hilary.
The launch finally took place at 2:37 a.m. Tuesday morning. It carried 21 communications satellites into orbit.
