SpaceX is targeting Tuesday night for its next Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The four-hour window for the launch that will send 25 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit is between 7 and 11 p.m., according to SpaceX.
The first-stage booster supporting the mission has been used 20 times previously, primarily on Starlink missions. It is expected to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean following stage separation. No sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
AÂ live webcast of the mission will begin about five minutes before liftoff and can be watched on SpaceX’s website and on X @SpaceX. The launch will mark the fourth for SpaceX from Vandenberg so far this month.
