Spacex's Falcon 9 is targeting a Sunday liftoff from Vandenberg's SLC‑4E, carrying 28 starlink satellites to low‑earth orbit.

The launch is scheduled for 4 p.m.

You can watch a live webcast about five minutes before liftoff at Spacex, on X @Spacex.

It's the booster's first flight; after separation it will try to land on the droneship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific.
