Live coverage: SpaceX launches another batch of Starlink satellites

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, standing 208 feet tall, is mounted on a Cape Canaveral launch pad for liftoff with a fresh package of supplies and research experiments for the International Space Station.

A Chinese Long March 4C rocket delivered into orbit Friday the Gaofen 10 Earth-imaging satellite, a likely replacement for a spacecraft lost in an August 2016 launch failure.

Following deployment, SpaceX will have launched a total of 2,600 Starlink V2 Mini satellites so far this year. Liftoff of the Starlink 11-14 mission from pad 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base occurred at 1:13 p.m. PST (4:13 p.m. EST / 2113 UTC).
