Another SpaceX rocket is scheduled to take off from Vandenberg Space Force Base this week.
The Falcon 9 rocket is set to launch between 10:12 a.m. and 2:12 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 4.
A of the launch is expected to begin about five minutes before liftoff.
According to base officials, the rocket will deliver 28 Starlink satellites supporting Department of War communications to low-Earth orbit.
Following stage separation, about eight minutes after liftoff, SpaceX will aim to land the rocket’s first stage booster on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean, so it can be used again in a future launch.
SpaceX’s most recent launch at Vandenberg took place on Monday evening. It has another launch on the calendar for Sunday, Dec. 7.
