SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 rocket from the West Coast at 2:30 a.m. PST on Monday, carrying a payload of 22 Starlink satellites.

This marked the 55th Starlink delivery mission of the year.

The Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, heading southeast to reach a specific orbit of 183×178 miles (295×286 km) inclined at 53 degrees to the equator.

Notably, it was the second time that SpaceX fueled this particular Falcon 9, Space Flight Now reported.

A previous countdown on early Sunday morning was halted just minutes before liftoff, with SpaceX announcing a “standing down” on social media without specifying the reason for the aborted launch attempt.

The Starlink 7-7 mission had already faced a one-day delay, and this subsequent attempt, originally scheduled for 10:33 p.m. PST, was repeatedly rescheduled before finally launching during the last available launch opportunity of the night.
