BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to carry several Starlink satellites into orbit during a launch window on Saturday. The launch window is scheduled between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
"3... 2... 1... ignition. Engine full power. Liftoff. Go SpaceX. Go Starlink Falcon 9. Will you be my valentine?" the team said during liftoff. AIR7 caught a beautiful shot of the rocket lifting over the hills.
SpaceX halted Falcon 9 launches for a week while it investigated that issue, which was traced to a fuel leak in one of the booster's nine Merlin engines. This leak led to a fire shortly after touchdown, which weakened a landing leg and caused the vehicle to tip over.
VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. (KEYT) – A Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites destined for low-Earth orbit is scheduled from Vandenberg SFB on Saturday, Feb. 14 between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.
