Another Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base Sunday evening.
Liftoff was around 9:53 p.m. with backup opportunities planned until 1:46 a.m.
SpaceX said additional opportunities would have also been available on Monday starting at 11:19 p.m..
13 of the Starlink satellites have Direct to Cell capabilities, which representatives say enable ubiquitous access to texting, calling, and browsing on land, lakes, or coastal waters.
After liftoff and stage separation, the first-stage booster landed on the Of Course I Still Love You drone ship in the Pacific Ocean. The satellites will reportedly be launched into low-Earth orbit.
Officials say this is the 20th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission.
Community members can watch upcoming mission launches live on the SpaceX website.
