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.

This will be the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA T1TL-B, SDA T1TL-C, Transporter-16, and 10 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 launches its first Falcon 9 rocket since Nasdaq debut

SpaceX launched its first Falcon 9 rocket since making its public trading debut on the Nasdaq.

The Starlink 17-54 mission launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday morning to add another 24 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit constellation.

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East occurred at 8:34 a.m. PDT (11:34 a.m. EDT / 1534 UTC). The rocket flew on a south-southwesterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.

SpaceX launched the Starlink 17-54 mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number B1093. It was the 14th flight after launching the Transporter-14, SDA T1TL-B and T1TL-C, and ten batches of Starlink satellites.

A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, B1093 landed on the drone ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You’, positioned in the Pacific Ocean. It was the 203rd landing on this vessel and the 624th booster landing for SpaceX.
