SpaceX has two Falcon 9 rocket launches scheduled for early April from California.

Following an early morning rocket launch that marked the final liftoff of March from California, SpaceX has two more missions on the books to kick off April.

The commercial spaceflight company is planning to deploy batches of its Starlink broadband internet satellites to low-Earth orbit across two launches in the week ahead. Both missions will use SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which will get off the ground from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Californians - and potentially Arizonans - making their plans to watch any launches should keep in mind that lots can change between now and when each rocket is expected to lift off, as delays in spaceflight are common. Be sure to visit VC Star for the latest mission updates.
