by Falcon will carry 20 OneWeb spacecraft for Eutelsat Group.
The mission initially aimed for late September, when it would have been the fifth of the month. However, a glitch after a Florida mission that required an investigation delayed the departure of the OneWeb mission for a few weeks.

This will be the second Falcon 9 launch of October from Vandenberg.
OneWeb, a constellation of more than 600 satellites, provides broadband Internet services.
For instance, the high-speed, low-latency will aid researchers in Antarctica, where historically they have had limited access, according to Eutelsat.
Along with better reliability, OneWeb provides data-rates up to 120 megabits per second, significantly more than the 1-5 Mbps previously available to the researchers.
Vandenberg also saw other OneWeb satellites travel to space on a Falcon 9 rocket for a rideshare mission in May 2023.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff and can be viewed on www.spacex.com and on X @SpaceX (formerly Twitter).
