SpaceX’s Starship 36 explodes after ‘major anomaly’<\/p>\n

SpaceX\u2019s Starship 36 exploded during a routine static fire test after experiencing a \u201cmajor anomaly.\u201d<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s Starlink missions were paused for about two weeks in California for a routine maintenance at the launch complex where the missions get off the ground.At least three Starlink deployment missions could be on the schedule in the week ahead alone from California.Additionally, NASA could launch two science satellites sometime in July.<\/p>\n

Good news, space enthusiasts: rocket launches are about to resume<\/a> in Southern California following a short break<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Vandenberg Space Force Base and SpaceX don’t typically officially confirm California launches until about a day ahead of time, and the Federal Aviation Administration’s operations\u00a0plan advisory<\/a>\u00a0is constantly updating.<\/p>\n

Still, multiple <\/a>online websites <\/a>that track launches <\/a>suggest that at least three Starlink deployment missions are on the schedule in the week ahead alone from California. Additionally, NASA could launch two science satellites sometime in July.<\/p>\n

And as usual, the upcoming rocket launches from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County should be widely visible across California \u2013 and perhaps even Arizona<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still, it’s important to keep in mind that rocket launches can be \u2013 and often are \u2013 delayed due to any number of factors, including poor weather conditions or unexpected issues with spacecraft. Make sure to visit VC Star for the latest mission updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the upcoming\u00a0June 2025 launch schedule<\/a> (so far) at the Vandenberg Space Force Base.<\/p>\n
