SpaceX launched rockets from both coasts this weekend as all eyes now shift to Texas and the possible next test flight of the company’s giant Starship rocket.

Here's the view from the press viewing area at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as two SES O3b mPOWER satellites launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket. Space X launched rockets from both coasts this weekend as all eyes now shift to Texas and the possible next test flight of the company’s giant Starship rocket. Saturday morning, a Falcon 9 rocket blasted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California with dozens of small payloads.

It was the latest in their Transporter series of launches, designed to make it cheaper and easier for smaller companies to launch micro-payloads into space. The top of the rocket was packed with 90 payloads; thus far, the company says, customers have confirmed 86 successful deployments. A few more were expected to deploy from their own transfer vehicles later. A Falcon 9 rocket rises behind the old Titan ITL complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
