USSF-627 Mission Scheduled for Liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base Monday Night

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. (KEYT) – A Falcon 9 launch of the USSF-627 mission has been scheduled for Monday, Nov. 9, between 7:03 p.m. and 11:03 p.m. Pacific Time.

A backup launch window has been designated for the classified mission on behalf of the U.S. Space Force on the following day, Tuesday, Nov. 10, starting at 6:49 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 mission 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 that one or more sonic booms may be heard across the local region during the launch, but how far the sound travels will depend on weather and other conditions at launch time.

This will be the seventh flight for the Falcon 9 assigned to this mission. The same booster previously launched the following missions: NROL-179, SDA-T1TL-E, SDA-T1TL-A and three Starlink launches.
