SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the X TV app.

This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA T1TL-B Tranche 1, SDA T1TL-C Tranche 1, and five 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.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

Deployment of 28 @Starlink satellites confirmed.

https://www.spacex.com/launches/sl-11-14

On Thursday, November 6 at 1:13 p.m. PT, Falcon 9 launched 28 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

This was the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA T1TL-B Tranche 1, SDA T1TL-C Tranche 1, and now six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which was stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
