SpaceX Set to Launch NRO Starshield and Starlink Satellites on Falcon 9
SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on November 30, 2024, carrying a mix of Starshield and Starlink satellites for the NROL-126 mission, a part of the National Reconnaissance Office's proliferated architecture. This mission will include 20 Starlink satellites, following a pattern of recent launches. The Falcon 9 booster will attempt a landing on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You.' Notably, SpaceX has not provided a public livestream for this launch, similar to a recent Starlink mission.
