SpaceX’s Falcon 9 successfully launched 28 Starlink satellites into low-earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday, December 7.
Video filmed by Wayne Thompson from his home near Vandenberg shows the rocket ascending through the cloudless sky.
“There was a possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may have heard one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experienced depended on weather and other conditions,” SpaceX announced on its website. Credit: Wayne Thompson via Storyful
