SpaceX is preparing to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida on Monday afternoon that will carry internet-beaming Starlink satellites into orbit.

The SpainSat NG-1 satellite launched right on time at 8:34 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A. The rocket rumbled as it headed on an eastern trajectory. Just over eight minutes into the flight, the second-stage and satellite were safely in Earth orbit, headed for its final position and altitude.
