SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 1:09 p.m. on Wednesday.
WATCH:
The rocket is carrying 51 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit.
About eight minutes after liftoff, the rocket's first stage booster landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean. The same booster was previously used on a Starlink mission and for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 0 launch.
