SpaceX is scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket launching 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday, September 28th from Vandenberg Space Force Base. <\/p>\n
The launch is scheduled to happen some time between 4:32 p.m. and 8:32 p.m., with a live webcast starting about five minutes before liftoff. <\/p>\n
This mission marks the 28th flight for the first-stage booster supporting the launch, which has previously carried out a variety of missions, including the launch of NASA\u2019s Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, the DART asteroid deflection test, and several other Starlink missions. <\/p>\n
After stage separation, the Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and attempt a landing on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, in the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n
SpaceX officials say community members in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties may hear one or more sonic booms during launch, depending on weather and other conditions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX is scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket launching 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on Sunday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":185350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[79,193],"class_list":["post-185349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=185349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/185349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/185350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=185349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=185349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=185349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
