A Falcon 9 rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base will mark the second of two planned Starlink missions in as many days early this week from each side of the continent.

The SpaceX rocket and its next batch of 15 Starlink satellites will aim for liftoff from Space Launch Complex-4 on South Base on Monday night.

Liftoff reportedly will take place at 8:57 p.m. Monday, but the team has other opportunities if needed at 10:38 p.m. and 11:28 p.m. Monday.

If the rocket doesn’t get off the ground Monday night, SpaceX says four opportunities exist for Tuesday, starting at 8:32 p.m. and ending at 11:54 p.m.

The West Coast mission will follow an East Coat launch of 22 Starlink satellites from Florida.

That launch occurred Sunday night and successfully placed 22 Starlink satellites in orbit.

Both missions will help SpaceX expand its constellation of satellites to create internet access in areas of the world where land-based service remains unavailable or unreliable.

So far, SpaceX has launched more than 4,800 Starlink satellites, although some have failed and deorbited.

For Vandenberg’s next Starlink missions, the first-stage booster will land on the drone ship, Of Course I Still Love You, positioned in the Pacific Ocean several hundred miles south of the Central Coast.

That means residents of Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties won’t hear the sonic booms that accompany a booster’s return to Vandenberg.

A live broadcast of the Starlink missions from California and Florida can be found about five minutes before the planned launch times on the SpaceX website or its YouTube channel.
