Overview
- The Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg has an evening Pacific Time window that comes less than an hour before NASA’s Artemis II splashdown off San Diego.
- SpaceX plans to carry 25 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit, adding to the company’s global internet network.
- A live webcast will run on SpaceX’s website and the X TV app, beginning about five minutes before liftoff.
- The first stage is slated for its 32nd flight and will attempt a droneship landing on Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific.
- An FAA plan lists a backup opportunity the next day, and a southbound trajectory may make the launch hard to see from much of Arizona.
