Delayed a day by bad weather, this marked just the second rocket launch for the newly established Space Force. United Launch Alliance, which provided the Atlas V rocket, dedicated Sunday's launch to the health care workers and others who are working on the front lines of the pandemic. Before dawn Monday, SpaceX will attempt to launch another batch of its Starlink satellites for global internet service. It will be SpaceX's last flight before its first astronaut launch, scheduled for May 27 from next-door Kennedy Space Center. ———The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education.
