Ready for liftoff?
SpaceX could potentially launch two spaceflight missions from California this week.
On tap for the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County are two more upcoming missions to deploy SpaceX’s commercial internet Starlink satellites into the company’s growing constellation. That means two more launches of Elon Musk’s commercial spaceflight company’s Falcon 9 rocket.
Californians – and Arizonans – making their plans to watch any of the 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.
Wednesday, Dec. 10: Starlink 15-11
Friday, Dec. 12: Starlink 15-12
