A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has placed the SPAINSAT NG I military satellite into orbit from the historic Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The most advanced secure communications satellite in Europe will now begin a six-month phase before providing service to our Armed Forces and NATO.

SpaceX is preparing to send its next round of Starlink satellites into lower Earth orbit with a launch scheduled for Monday afternoon at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, officials said.

SpaceX launched another batch of its Starlink internet satellites from Florida's Space Coast today (Jan. 27). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 21 Starlink spacecraft, including 13 with direct-to-cellphone capability, lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station today at 5:05 p.m. EST (2205 GMT).
