SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, deploying 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit; the first stage, in its fifth flight, landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific after stage separation.
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.
SpaceX launched a flight-proven Falcon 9 booster for the 600th time on the Starlink 10-45 mission from Cape Canaveral SLC-40. The B1080 booster flew its 28th flight, placing 29 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit and bringing SpaceX’s constellation total to over 10,800. The first stage landed on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas about 8.5 minutes after liftoff, marking the 161st landing on that vessel and the 638th booster landing overall for SpaceX. Weather forecasts predicted favorable conditions with only a slight risk of lingering clouds and lightning potential.
SpaceX launched 27 Starlink satellites on a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, with the first-stage booster landing on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You' (the 210th drone-ship landing and 637th booster landing for SpaceX); the Starlink 15-14 mission adds to the company’s growing low-Earth-orbit constellation, and SpaceX plans a Monday launch of Starlink V2 Mini satellites from the same site.
SpaceX is targeting a Monday 6:16 p.m. local launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base to deploy 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit on a Falcon 9 mission; the first-stage booster is planned to land on a Pacific droneship after stage separation, marking its 15th flight.
SpaceX plans to launch 24 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Wednesday, with a 7:48–9:48 p.m. launch window; the first-stage booster is expected to return and land on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific, marking its 25th flight. A live webcast will begin about 10 minutes before liftoff, as SpaceX aims to expand Starlink's global internet coverage.
SpaceX is launching a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg Space Force Base with 24 Starlink satellites, targeting a morning liftoff within a 7 a.m.–11 a.m. window, with plans to recover the first stage on a droneship in the Pacific; the booster has flown in more than 30 missions.
SpaceX is set to launch 46 Starlink satellites atop a Falcon 9 rocket from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base on April 27. The returning rocket will land at sea on the SpaceX droneship Of Course I Still Love You. The launch will be the 26th orbital mission of the year for SpaceX and the 13th launch and landing for this particular booster. Starlink is SpaceX's broadband megaconstellation, which currently consists of about 4,000 operational satellites.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launch carrying 46 Starlink satellites was scrubbed 15 seconds before takeoff due to the probability of landing failure. The rocket's first stage booster was planned to be landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean. The booster being used in this launch was used in a dozen previous missions. The launch is rescheduled for Thursday, April 27 at 6:40 a.m.
