Celebrating people using Starlink in interesting ways — epic and everyday.
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, October 15 for a Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 1:07 a.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 5:03 a.m. PT. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday, October 16 starting at 12:42 a.m. ET.
The forecast calls for a temperature of 60°F, broken clouds, 69% cloud cover and a wind speed of 12mph.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.
This is the 19th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, Transporter-9, NROL-146, and 11 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.
