SpaceX is planning an early morning launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Saturday.

The Falcon 9 launch of the NROL-192 mission from Space Launch Complex 4 East is scheduled for 5:25 a.m. PT.

If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, April 13 starting at 5:09 a.m. PT.

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 and visitors to 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.
