SpaceX's Saturday Rocket Launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base
SpaceX is planning to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 90 satellites, including those from Santa Barbara-based Umbra, on Saturday from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The launch window opens at 10:49 a.m. and if delayed, the launch will take place on Sunday. The first-stage booster is expected to return and land at Vandenberg, resulting in sonic booms that may be heard in nearby counties. The Transporter-9 mission aims to deliver various satellites into orbit, with participants from different countries. Spectators can watch the launch from various locations around the Lompoc Valley, and a live webcast will be available on SpaceX's Twitter account.
