SpaceX is targeting Friday, September 20 for a Falcon 9 launch of 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 6:50 a.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 7:04 a.m. PT. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Saturday, September 21 starting at 6:26 a.m. PT.A live webcast of this mission will begin about 5 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the 13th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA-0A, Transporter-11, SARah-2, and nine Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.

As Starlink 9-17 will launch September 20, I think that this launch will be delayed to allow OCISLY to be towed to Long Beach, unloaded, and towed back to the recovery zone.Circa September 25/26?NextSpaceflight:Launch NET September

Space Stocks @SpaceEquitiesVarda Space Industries Winnebago-2 demonstration mission, which uses a $RKLB Pioneer satellite platform and was scheduled to fly in the coming days on Transporter 11, has been delayed to NET October 1st, according to an FCC filling (https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/els/reports/STA_Print.cfm?mode=current&application_seq=135289&RequestTimeout=1000 ), pressumably to Transporter 12.Winnebago-1 spent months in orbit waiting for an FAA license to permit the capsule landing attempt. Following the incident, the FAA stated it would not issue launch licenses to capsules unless a landing license has been previously granted.
Varda Space Industries @VardaSpaceWe are happy to announce that Varda received our FAA reentry license for our upcoming second mission launching in early November.This flight will advance pharmaceutical research as well as fly several payloads in support of NASA and other government partners.
0910-EX-CN-2024 RHOK-SAT (1U, Rhodes College)QuoteThe overall goals of the RHOK-SAT mission are educational and scientific. The educational (primary) objective is to give students hands-on learning on the mechanical, software, and RF engineering involved with satellite development. Our students engaged public high schools, museums, and STEM related programs to teach students about the solar system and satellite orbits as part of an outreach curriculum. Its scientific (secondary) objective is to collect data on perovskite solar cells and assess their hardiness in orbit over time.The satellite will be launched to the ISS as cargo on the NG-22 resupply mission
