With one more week left to go in June, Californians can still anticipate at least two more SpaceX rockets lifting off from the southern portions of the state before the month is out.
That includes a rideshare mission initially being targeted for launch on Saturday, June 21, that has since been postponed two days.
Vandenberg and SpaceX don’t typically officially confirm California launches until about a day ahead of time, and the Federal Aviation Administration’s operations plan advisory is constantly updating. Still, multiple online websites that track launches also suggest that at least one more Starlink deployment is also on the scheduled in June from California.
The good news for space enthusiasts? The upcoming two rocket launches from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County should be widely visible across California.
It’s also important to keep in mind that rocket launches can be – and often are – delayed due to any number of factors, including poor weather conditions or unexpected issues with spacecraft. Make sure to visit VC Star for the latest mission updates.
Here’s a look at the upcoming June 2025 launch schedule at the Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Monday, June 23: SpaceX Transporter 14
Saturday, June 28: Starlink 15-7
