SpaceX notched another successful rocket launch from the Central Coast.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 20 communications satellites lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base as planned at 6:50 a.m. Friday. Clouds and fog obscured the launch for much of the Tri-Counties.
The reusable first stage booster successfully landed on a barge off the West Coast. It was the 13th flight for the booster.
