SpaceX Launches 28 Starlink Satellites from Florida's Space Coast

SpaceX is launching a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday morning to deploy the NROL-48 satellite payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, with a backup launch window on Tuesday. The first-stage booster will land at Landing Zone 4 after the launch, and the event may produce sonic booms audible in nearby counties. The launch is part of a new approach involving multiple small satellites, and can be viewed online or in person at designated locations near Vandenberg.
