Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians and Airmen will support a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from Space Launch Complex 4 East tonight, sending 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.
Liftoff is targeted for Saturday at 5:48 p.m., with backup opportunities available until 9:31 p.m.
If needed, additional opportunities are also available Sunday, Dec. 29 starting at 5:12 p.m., the agency reported.
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.
This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SARah-2, Transporter-11, SDA-0A, and 12 Starlink missions.
A live webcast of this mission will begin approximately 5 minutes prior to liftoff at www.spacex.com and X.
Launch dates and times are subject to change at any time due to mission requirements, according to base officials.
