Two more rocket launches are on the schedule for the week ahead in California.
For both missions, SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Space Force Base to deliver batches of the company’s Starlink broadband internet satellites to orbit. Both missions have a morning launch window, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still see the rocket getting off the ground and thundering into the sky.
Californians – and potentially Arizonans – making their plans to watch any launches should keep in mind that lots can change between now and when each rocket is expected to lift off, as delays in spaceflight are common. Be sure to visit VC Star for the latest mission updates.
In the meantime, here’s your weekly look at the upcoming launch schedule at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County.
Wednesday, June 10: Starlink 17-44
Sunday, June 14: Starlink 17-54
