SpaceX is gearing up for another overnight launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The launch of 27 Starlink satellites is set for shortly after 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, with a live webcast of the mission starting approximately 10 minutes prior.

The four-hour launch window closes at 6:27 a.m.

The first-stage booster supporting the mission has already been used 23 times, including on 20 Starlink missions.

Following-stage separation, the first-stage is expected to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean.

No sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
