T+plus 20 minutes. The first phase of today's launch appears to have gone according to plan. SpaceX reports the upper stage and the Iridium Next payloads are on the right trajectory following liftoff, as the rocket continues coasting toward the point where the Merlin vacuum engine will reignite for its second burn.
