SpaceX launched 20 Starlink internet satellites from California early Saturday morning (Nov. 9). A Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Starlink spacecraft — 13 of which had direct-to-cell capability — lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base at 1:14 a.m. EST (0514 GMT; 10:14 p.m. Nov. 8 local time).

The data from the reboost, scheduled for Nov. 8, will help inform design for a larger Dragon to deorbit the ISS.

SpaceX’s Dragon capsule is about to play a new, important role in maintaining the International Space Station. For the first time, NASA has planned a “reboost” maneuver with a cargo Dragon capsule docked to the ISS.

After making U.S. history as only the second person to be elected to a nonconsecutive term as president, Donald Trump had high praise for Elon Musk, SpaceX and Starlink satellites in his election night victory speech.

Elon Musk has already seen his net worth jump after President-elect Trump's win this week, and the incoming administration could utilize the tech billionaire's companies.
