SpaceX to loft 24 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg with Falcon 9

SpaceX is set to launch 24 Starlink satellites aboard a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base (Starlink 17-49), marking the West Coast’s 51st SpaceX flight this year. Liftoff from SLC-4E is targeted during a window opening at 7 p.m. PDT, with booster B1103 making its fifth flight and aiming to land on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You about 8.5 minutes after liftoff; if successful, it will be the 163rd landing on that vessel and the 648th Falcon booster landing overall.
