SpaceX launched 26 Starlink satellites from California on Monday evening (June 16). A relatively new Falcon 9 rocket, making only its third flight, lifted off at 8:36 p.m. PDT local (11:36 p.m. EDT or 0336 GMT June 17) from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

SpaceX produced its 10 millionth Starlink kit this week, an effort that's bound to increase as the company moves into more international markets and offers appealing discounts in the US.
