SpaceX Rocket Launch: Schedule and Streaming Info
Another orbital delivery of Starlink satellites is planned, continuing SpaceX’s ongoing Southern California launches.
Elon Musk’s commercial spaceflight company is preparing to launch another Falcon 9 rocket from Santa Barbara County’s Vandenberg Space Force Base. One of the most active rockets in the world, the two-stage 230-foot rocket is now at the center of SpaceX’s continuous effort to launch internet-beaming Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The upcoming weekday launch, which takes place following Father’s Day weekend, should be extensively visible throughout the southern part of the state.
However, it’s crucial to remember that a variety of reasons, such as bad weather or unforeseen problems with spacecraft, can cause rocket launches to be canceled or postponed, and they frequently do.
What time does California’s SpaceX rocket launch?
According to an operations plan advisory from the Federal Aviation Administration, SpaceX plans to launch as early as Tuesday, June 17, with backup plans available on Wednesday, June 18.
But according to several websites that monitor rocket launches, the launch window might open at 5:51 p.m. June 16th, Monday. The launch has not been formally confirmed by SpaceX or Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Where will California launch next?
The Starlink satellites will be launched from Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California, using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The majority of Vandenberg’s launches follow a trajectory toward the south or southeast.
The booster of the Falcon 9 rocket will attempt to land on a SpaceX drone ship, dubbed “Of Course I Still Love You,” in the Pacific Ocean after the satellites are delivered and deployed. This enables the booster to be recovered by SpaceX staff for use in subsequent space missions.
