“We are what we call Nunataligaarjuk, close to the little islands out in the sea ice. Starlink has changed our lives out on the land. I have seen and heard of people being stuck out on the land, and they brought Starlink and that was the only way they communicated—when they need help…”
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is targeting the launch of 28 Starlink smallsats to low-Earth orbit that will join the Starlink constellation from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
The forecast calls for a temperature of 61°F, clear skies, 5% cloud cover and a wind speed of 14mph.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.
This will be the second flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously supported one Starlink mission. After stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.
