The first of three upcoming SpaceX Starlink missions got off the ground on the night of Tuesday, July 15 . Now, Elon Musk's commercial spaceflight company could soon get another of its Falcon 9 rockets off the ground from the Vandenberg Space Force Base to deploy more of the internet-beaming satellites.

The launch site itself may be across state lines, but Arizonans could still have a chance to see the rocket itself soaring overheard.

But it's important to keep in mind that rocket launches can be – and often are – scrubbed or delayed due to any number of factors, including poor weather conditions or unexpected issues with spacecraft. Check back with azcentral.com for any updates on the rocket launch.

Here's what to know about the launch from Southern California, as well as when and where to watch it in neighboring Arizona:

If needed, additional launch opportunities are available starting at 9:26 p.m. PT Saturday, July 19.

The launch will take place from  Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base  in Santa Barbara County, California. Most launches from Vandenberg fly at a south or southeast trajectory.

The spaceflight will make use of the company's famous two-stage 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket, one of the world's most active, to deliver 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit.
