November 12, 2024, 4:59 pm 179 SpaceX (courtesy) SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, November 13 for a Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base. Liftoff is targeted for 8:21 p.m. Additional launch opportunities are also available on Thursday, November 14 starting at 7:57 p.m. This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Oneweb 4, USSF-62, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean. At this point it’s unclear if sonic booms will take place as they did during last Friday’s launch. Previously the company has stated that there is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the landing, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.
