SpaceX is preparing for its next Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The Falcon 9 launch carrying 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit is set to liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East Tuesday between 7:33 p.m. and 11:33 p.m.
According to SpaceX, as of 5:12 p.m., liftoff was scheduled for around 8:51 p.m.
The first-stage booster is expected to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean, so no sonic boom is expected to be heard locally following the launch.
A live webcast is expected to begin about five minutes before liftoff.
This marks the 44th launch from Vandenberg so far this year.
