SpaceX is targeting Monday afternoon for a Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

SpaceX sent up the second launch of the year from the Space Coast on Monday afternoon. A Falcon 9 carrying 24 of the company’s Starlink internet satellites took off at 3:43 p.m. Eastern time from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40.
