UPDATE: The Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched on schedule Friday afternoon.
__
SpaceX is planning a Falcon 9 rocket launch of 46 Starlink satellites at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The launch is scheduled for Friday at 2:40 p.m.
Starlink is SpaceX's high-speed broadband satellite internet service designed to reach rural and remote communities.
Following stage separation, SpaceX plans to land the rocket's first stage booster on the "Of Course I Still Love You" drone ship stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
The same booster was previously used to launch the Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, and one Starlink mission.
If for some reason the launch is delayed, the base plans to try the launch on Saturday, August 13 at 10:40 p.m.
Here is a link to watch the launch live.
