Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg SFB scheduled for early Tuesday

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. (KEYT) – A Falcon 9 launch of 27 Starlink satellites destined for low-Earth orbit has been scheduled from Vandenberg SFB between 7:24 a.m. and 11:24 a.m Tuesday.

A live webcast of the launch will begin about five minutes before liftoff that you can watch here or on SpaceX's X/Twitter account.

Following first-stage separation, the booster assigned to this mission will return to Earth to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship awaiting in the Pacific Ocean.

There is the possibility that one or more sonic booms may be heard during the launch, but how far the sound travels will depend on weather and other conditions at the time.

This will be the 30th flight for the Falcon 9 on this mission which previously launched the following missions: Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, SDA-0B, NROL-113, NROL-167, NROL-149, NAOS, and 20 prior Starlink launches.
