Falcon 9 Launch of Starlink Satellites Scheduled for Wednesday

SpaceX has announced a launch window from Vandenberg Space Force Base on December 4, starting at 4:06 p.m. The Falcon 9 rocket will carry 20 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, into low-Earth orbit. The launch marks the booster’s 12th mission and follows previous launches for Crew 7, CRS-29, NROL-186, EarthCARE, PACE, Transporter-10, and five Starlink missions.

The launch will take place from Space Launch Complex 4 East, with additional opportunities scheduled for December 5 in case of cancellation. After the first-stage separation, the Falcon 9 booster will land on the Of Course I Still Love You drone ship in the Pacific Ocean.
