A SpaceX rocket is scheduled to launch 20 more Starlink satellites into orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base, five days after a similar mission. Liftoff of the two-stage rocket will aim for as early as 8:21 p.m. Wednesday from Space Launch Complex-4 on the South Base. If needed, additional opportunities will be available starting at 7:57 p.m. Thursday. It will mark the eighth flight for the first-stage booster supporting this mission. After finishing its tasks, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean. Of the 20 Starlink satellites, 13 are equipped with direct-to-cell capabilities as SpaceX continues to add to the constellation to allow customers of certain cellphone providers to also make calls.

Starlink, designed and built by SpaceX, provides internet access around the world as a solution for areas where service remains unreliable or unavailable. Deployment of the satellites is expected to occur one hour after the rocket’s launch. SpaceX also launched 20 other Starlink satellites Friday night in the year’s 27th Falcon rocket launch from Vandenberg.
