With a Thursday launch of 24 Starlink satellites, SpaceX's third mission from Central Florida this week is on its way to low-Earth orbit. After a few delays, the Falcon 9 rocket took off around 8:21 a.m. from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, where another Starlink mission took off earlier this week.

Mission: Equipped with four solid rocket boosters, ULA's third Vulcan rocket will take flight on the Space Force's USSF-106 national security mission into geosynchronous orbit more than 22,000 miles above Earth.
