SpaceX plans to launch 26 Starlink satellites from its Falcon 9 rocket on Monday evening, which should be visible above Southern California after sunset.

Another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is due to launch over the weekend from Southern California's Vandenberg Space Force Base.

As new rockets and space companies arrive on the scene, this workhorse of a rocket, the Falcon 9, remains the most common rocket launched from Florida launch pads. It debuted 15 years ago this week, and has changed not only the launch cadence on the Space Coast but the entire industry.
