Live coverage: SpaceX to launch 22 Starlink satellites on Falcon 9 rocket from California

SpaceX is preparing to launch its latest batch of Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base Saturday afternoon.

The mission will be the 111th orbital launch for SpaceX from its pad at Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) and the 200th orbital launch in total from that site. Liftoff s scheduled for 3:02 p.m. PST (6:02 p.m. EST, 2302 UTC).

Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about 30 minutes prior to liftoff.

SpaceX will use Falcon 9 first stage booster, tail number B1075, on the mission dubbed Starlink 11-4. This will be the 17th flight for B1075, which previously launched the Transporter-11 rideshare mission, SDA-0A for the U.S. Space Force’s Space Development Agency, SARah-2 and 13 Starlink missions.

A little more than eight minutes after liftoff, the booster will target a landing on the SpaceX droneship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You.’ If successful, it will be the 119th landing for OCISLY and the 403rd booster landing to date.
