The first California rocket launch of June is coming up in the week ahead from the Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Ready to see SpaceX get its Falcon 9 rocket off the ground once again from the West Coast? The two-stage launch vehicle is due for liftoff on yet another mission to deploy the spaceflight company’s Starlink broadband internet satellites to Earth orbit.
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 3: Starlink 17-47
