(Monday, May 26) - SpaceX is planning another rocket launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base this Tuesday, May 27.

Liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket is currently scheduled for 9:14 a.m.

A livestream of the launch is expected to begin about five minutes before liftoff.

Following stage separation, about eight minutes after launch, SpaceX will aim to land the rocket's first stage booster on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean.

The rocket will carry 24 Starlink satellites into orbit.

If the launch is scrubbed on Tuesday, SpaceX says it has additional launch opportunities available starting at 9:14 a.m. on Wednesday.
