Phillip/AP Posted SpaceX is targeting Friday morning for the launch of a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Liftoff is targeted for 11:28 a.m., with backup opportunities reportedly available until 3:04 p.m. If needed, SpaceX officials say additional opportunities are also available on Saturday starting at 10:48 a.m. The launch is set to send 22 Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit. Company representatives say this is the ninth flight for the first stage booster supporting the mission. That booster is scheduled to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean. A live webcast of the mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff and can be found on the SpaceX website or X account. Copyright 2024 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
