SpaceX is set to launch 20 more of its Starlink internet satellites tonight (May 8), on the second leg of a spaceflight doubleheader for the company.
A Falcon 9 rocket topped with the Starlink craft — 13 of which will be able to beam service directly to cell phones — is scheduled to lift off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base tonight, during a nearly three-hour window that opens at 10:48 p.m. EDT (7:48 p.m. local California time; 0248 GMT on May 9).
SpaceX will livestream the launch via its X account, beginning about five minutes before the window opens.
