(Monday, Jan. 13) - SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Tuesday, January 14, according to base officials.

The launch window will reportedly open at 10:49 a.m.

Base officials say it's likely people in the area will hear a sonic boom when the rocket's first stage booster lands back on land at Vandenberg.

This launch, known as the Transporter-12 mission, will deliver multiple small satellites into low-Earth orbit.
