On Sunday, March 10, SpaceX is set to launch 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The liftoff is scheduled for 9:09 p.m. with backup opportunities until 10:49 p.m., and additional chances on March 11 if necessary.
This mission marks the 17th flight for the first stage booster, which has previously supported missions such as Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich and 11 Starlink missions. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship in the Pacific Ocean.
For those interested in watching the launch live, a webcast will be available on X @SpaceX about five minutes before liftoff. SpaceX’s Starlink program aims to provide global internet coverage through a constellation of satellites in low-Earth orbit.
The launch comes amidst a busy period for SpaceX, with multiple missions planned in the coming weeks. The company continues to push the boundaries of space exploration with its reusable rocket technology and ambitious plans for the future.
