Falcon 9 launch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg SFB scheduled for Monday evening

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. (KEYT) – A Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites destined for a low-Earth orbit is scheduled from Vandenberg SFB on Monday, July 13 between 6:16 p.m. and 7:16 p.m. Pacific Time.

A live webcast of the launch will begin about ten minutes before liftoff. You can tune in to watch here or on SpaceX's X/Twitter account.

Following first-stage separation, the booster assigned to this launch will return to Earth to land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship awaiting in the Pacific Ocean.

A depiction of that launch sequence is shown in the image below.

There is the potential for one or more sonic booms to be heard across the local region during the launch, but how far the sound travels will depend on weather and other conditions at the time.

This will be the 15th flight for the Falcon 9 on this mission. The booster previously launched the following missions: SDA-T1TL-B, SDA-T1TL-C, Transporter-16, and 11 prior Starlink missions.
