What: Falcon 9 rocket launch at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County.
When: Between 3:58 a.m. and 7:58 a.m. as soon as Sunday, according to SpaceX after scrubbing Saturday’s liftoff attempt.
If needed, the team has backup opportunities during the same time period Monday.
Where: Space Launch Complex-4 on South Base.
Landing: The first-stage booster, making its seventh flight, will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship positioned in the Pacific Ocean.
Why: Deliver 25 satellites into orbit for the Starlink constellation.
Watch: A live webcast of the mission is scheduled to begin about five minutes before liftoff at spacex.com/launches and on X @SpaceX.
To watch the liftoff in person, the Lompoc Valley has multiple locations offering views of the launch pad. Those include the peak of Harris Grade Road, west of Lompoc’s city limits and around Vandenberg Village, including near the intersection of Moonglow and Stardust roads.
Vandenberg launches close to sunset or sunrise can be especially picturesque. If skies are clear, the rocket’s departure might be visible from elsewhere around California and, under certain conditions, other Western states.
Upcoming Launches: Additional Starlink launches are tentatively planned for March 11 and March 14 from Vandenberg aboard Falcon 9 rocket.
Additionally, Firefly Aerospace‘s Alpha rocket may attempt to launch its Stairway to Seven mission next week.
As a reminder, launches can get delayed for a number of reasons including technical troubles, unfavorable weather and scheduling issues.
