USA TODAY NETWORK The liftoff is targeted for the afternoon of Friday, May 30 from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California. Because of the launch site's proximity, Arizona residents across a large swath of the state may be able to witness the rocket soaring overhead. SpaceX will also provide a livestream of the launch. Yet another SpaceX rocket should soon be visible in parts of Arizona's skies as it gets off the ground from neighboring California. For the sixth time in May, Elon Musk's commercial spaceflight company is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket bearing a batch of Starlink satellites for delivering to Earth's orbit. The liftoff is targeted for the afternoon of Saturday, May 31 from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California. The mission would be the latest to deliver internet-beaming Starlink satellites into what's called low-Earth orbit – an altitude that allows for things like satellites to circle Earth fairly quickly. But it's important to keep in mind that rocket launches can be – and often are – scrubbed or delayed due to any number of factors, including poor weather conditions or unexpected issues with spacecraft. Check back with the Arizona Republic for any updates on the impending rocket launch. Because of the launch site's proximity, Arizona residents across a large swath of the state may be able to witness the rocket soaring overhead. Here's what to know about the launch, as well as when and where to watch it: What time is the SpaceX rocket launch from California? The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket could get off the ground as early as 1:10 p.m. PT Saturday, May 31, with backup opportunities available until 4:51 p.m., according to a launch alert from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available staring at 12:39 p.m. PT on Sunday, June 1. The launch, using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to deliver 27 Starlink satellites, will take place from Launch Complex 4E from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California. Following the delivery and deployment of the satellites, the Falcon 9 rocket's booster will aim to land on a SpaceX drone ship, nicknamed "Of Course I Still Love You," in the Pacific Ocean. This allows for SpaceX personnel to recover the booster so it can be reused in future spaceflights.
