SpaceX launched yet another batch of its Starlink internet satellites to orbit today (Sept. 20), sending the spacecraft aloft from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The Falcon 9 rocket is slated to lift off at exactly 7:20 a.m. from the SLC-4E launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base. This mission, dubbed Starlink 9-17, marks another significant step in SpaceX’s efforts to expand its satellite internet connectivity.

A SpaceX rocket lifted off Friday from the Santa Barbara County coast in an early morning launch through low clouds.

SpaceX's new Starlink satellites are so radio noisy that they could blind radio astronomy observatories to the universe's most intriguing phenomena, scientists say.

New Starlink satellites’ radiation leaks are 30 times as large as those emitted by older satellites, scientists discover

SpaceX’s ever-increasing network of satellites is still blocking researchers’ ability to view distant galaxies, planets, and stars, according to experts.
