SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base overnight.

The rocket lifted off around 1:23 a.m. Saturday and deployed 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.

It was the 16th time the booster supporting the mission has been used.

Following stage separation, the rocket's first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You Droneship in the Pacific Ocean.
