Hawthorne-based SpaceX is hoping to launch another set of Iridium NEXT satellites into space this morning from Vandenberg Air Force Base, north of Santa Barbara, if the weather and other conditions hold. According to SpaceX, the instantaneous launch window for the launch is 7:31 a.m. PST, which should be visible across Southern California, depending on cloud conditions. The mission will place ten more Iridium NEXT communications satellites into space. Image: the Falcon 9 being used for today's launch on the launchpad at Vandenberg.
