SpaceX aims to launch its 60th Falcon 9 rocket of the year from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday evening.
The Starlink 15-10 mission is set to add 27 more broadband internet satellites to the company’s massive low Earth orbit constellation. As of the end of November, it had launched more than 2,800 Starlink satellites this year alone.
SpaceX is aiming to lift off from Space Launch Complex 4 East at 9:28 p.m. PST (12:28 a.m. EST/0528 UTC).
Spaceflight Now’s live coverage will begin approximately 30 minutes before liftoff.
SpaceX will launch the mission using a Falcon 9 first stage booster with tail number 1081. This will be the 20th flight of this booster, following NASA’s flight missions including Crew-7, CRS-29, Pace and Tracer.
Approximately 8.5 minutes after takeoff, the B1081 drone will aim for landing on the ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You’. If successful, it will be the 166th landing and 542nd booster landing ever on this ship.
