A late night rocket lauch from the Central Coast successfully put 21 communications satellites into orbit.
SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base Monday night.
Clouds and fog obscured the launch, but the 11:57 p.m. flight went as planned. The rocket carried 21 Starlink satellites into orbit. They are part of a global network intended to provide internet service to underserved parts of the world.
The reusable first stage booster landed on a barge off the coast. It marks the 254th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket.
