A glowing ‘tadpole’ formation lit up the night sky as SpaceX launched 26 Starlink V2 Mini satellites from California.
The dazzling display came from a Falcon 9 rocket blasting off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 8.47 pm local time on Monday night (June 16).
Known as the Starlink 15-9 mission, it marked the 200th orbital launch from the base’s SLC-4E pad.
The rocket’s booster, B1093, made its third flight and successfully landed on the droneship ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
The satellites were deployed into low Earth orbit and will contribute to SpaceX’s growing Starlink internet constellation.
