A Falcon 9 rocket is expected to launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E).

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.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.
