At 5:28 p.m. SpaceX launched the Optus-X satellite for Australian telecommunication company, Optus. The rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39A, traveling on a due east trajectory. With clouds in the area, most on the Space Coast only saw a short glow before the rocket disappeared.

A SpaceX rocket set for launch Wednesday evening from the Southern California coast will carry 20 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit. The four-hour launch window at Vandenberg Space Force Base northwest of Santa Barbara is scheduled to open at 4:06 p.m. An additional launch window is scheduled for Thursday.

Koreasat-6A will replace the existing Koreasat-6 satellite and provide television broadcasts across South Korea. It will be stationed in geostationary orbit, meaning the satellite will move at the Earth's rotational speed, allowing it to stay fixed above a specific point on the surface.
