The first-stage booster for the mission has been used 12 prior times, including on eight Starlink launches.
Following stage separation, the booster will land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean. No sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
This marks the fifth launch of the year for SpaceX from Vandenberg.
