ORIGINAL (Monday, Mar. 31) —
SpaceX is gearing up for another Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Liftoff for Tuesday’s launch of 27 Starlink satellites is set for 4:39 p.m. with backup opportunities until 8:39 p.m., the aerospace company announced.
If the launch does not happen Tuesday, crews will try again Wednesday starting at 4:16 p.m.
SpaceX reports the first-stage booster being used for this launch has been used four previous times. It’s set to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean, so no sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
A live webcast of the launch will start on X around five minutes prior to liftoff.
