Overview
- The Cape Canaveral mission will carry 29 Starlink satellites using a first stage on its 15th flight with a planned droneship landing in the Atlantic.
- A separate Falcon 9 from Vandenberg is slated to deploy 25 satellites during a four-hour afternoon window on a southerly track.
- The Vandenberg trajectory points south over the ocean, which makes the launch hard to see from most of Arizona.
- SpaceX plans live webcasts on its website and the X TV app that begin about five minutes before liftoff for people outside viewing range.
- An FAA advisory lists a next-day backup for the California launch, and both schedules can shift due to weather or technical issues.
