(Friday, Jan. 17) - SpaceX is preparing for its second launch of the year from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
A Falcon 9 with 27 Starlink satellites is scheduled to launch Saturday at 9:03 a.m.
Backup opportunities are available until 10:58 a.m. Saturday. If the launch does not go by that time, SpaceX will try again Sunday beginning at 7:36 a.m.
Once liftoff occurs and following stage separation, the first stage, which has been used nine times before, is expected to land on the Of Course I Still love Your droneship in the Pacific Ocean.
No sonic boom is expected to be heard locally.
A live webcast of the mission will start on X about five minutes before liftoff.
This launch comes just days after SpaceX’s Transporter-12 mission, which lifted off from Vandenberg earlier this week.
