SpaceX is targeting Sunday, June 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Liftoff is targeted for 8:47 p.m. with backup opportunities available until 12:41 a.m. on Monday, June 24. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Monday, June 24 starting at 11:22 p.m.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA-0A, SARah-2, and eight Starlink missions. 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.
Another brilliant launch, but it was partially obscured by clouds this time.
