SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites Tuesday in the company's 50th orbital launch this year. A Falcon 9 lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 2:39 pm EDT (1839 GMT) and placed 20 Starlink satellites into orbit. Thirteen of those satellites have direct-to-cell payloads. The launch was the 50th this year of Falcon rockets, 35 of which have been devoted to Starlink satellites.
