SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 10 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 will be the sixth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-105 and four 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.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch from Florida will kick off Memorial Day

SpaceX plans to kick off Memorial Day with a Falcon 9 rocket launch from Cape Canaveral, delivering more Starlink internet satellites to orbit.

The liftoff is set for now no earlier than 7:48 a.m. Monday, May 25 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. If needed, SpaceX has until 11:41 a.m. to make the launch window.

The mission, known as Starlink 10-47, will launch 29 of the company's Starlink satellites to orbit. The Falcon 9 rocket will travel on a northeast trajectory after liftoff.

Falcon 9 usually flies about twice a week, but launches have slowed this year as SpaceX focuses more on getting Starship operations ready for Cape Canaveral. With May almost to an end, this flight will mark Florida 35th launch of the year. That is well behind last year’s record-setting pace of 109 launches.

 

Falcon 9 rockets are currently only launched from one launch pad in Florida, and as of last month, SpaceX pulled its Just Read the Instructions drone ship to support Starship operations.

No Brevard sonic booms are expected Monday, as the rocket’s first stage booster will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
