A Falcon 9 rocket at Vandenberg Space Force Base will deliver another bunch of Starlink satellites into orbit Saturday morning with 27 stowed inside the payload fairing for the trek.

The two-stage rocket built by SpaceX will blast off at 9:03 a.m. from Space Lunch Complex-4 on South Base with other chances available until 10:58 a.m.

Launch times are selected based upon where the payload needs to be placed in space.

If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available starting at 7:36 a.m. Sunday.

The first-stage booster, on its 10th mission,  will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean. 

Deployment of the satellites will start approximately one hour after liftoff, according to SpaceX.

This will be the third launch of 2025 from the West Coast with the other two missions also involving SpaceX rockets. 

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which can be watched at www.spacex.com or on X @SpaceX
