SpaceX is scrubbing the launch of Starlink Group 7-11 for today and is now targeting Tuesday, January 23 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
Weather caused Sunday’s delay in SpaceX’s launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in northwestern Santa Barbara County.
This is the fifth delay in this launch. Liftoff is targeted for 4:35 p.m. PT.
A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.
This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, DART, Transporter-7, Iridium OneWeb, SDA-0B, and 10 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. There may be a sonic boom approximately eight minutes after launch.
