SpaceX sent 26 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit on Tuesday (July 15), after a launch from southern California. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 7:05 p.m. PDT local (10:05 p.m. EDT or 0205 GMT July 18), escaping the fog and cloud cover blanketing Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

More than two dozen Starlink satellites will be delivered into low-Earth orbit Tuesday evening when a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on the California coast.

People in California accustomed to rocket launches streaking into the sky may be wondering why it's been so quiet at the Vandenberg Space Force Base.
