SpaceX is targeting Saturday night between 7:05 and 11:05 p.m. for a Falcon 9 launch of 24 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
Following stage separation, the first stage booster will return and touch town on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, to be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
Officials note of a possibility that residents in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch depending on weather and other conditions.
This will be the fifth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched four Starlink missions.
