Overview

• Reports differ on timing, with Spaceflight Now listing a 6:21 a.m. PDT Friday liftoff from SLC-4E and a local advisory citing a four-hour window opening at 4:32 p.m. PT.
• The mission will use booster B1097 on its second flight, targeting a droneship landing on Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific.
• The Falcon 9 will carry 28 Starlink V2 Mini satellites, slated for deployment a little more than an hour after launch.
• This flight would be the third consecutive Falcon 9 launched from Vandenberg without an intervening Cape mission, underscoring SpaceX’s rising West Coast cadence.
• SpaceX plans to stream coverage on its website and the X TV app, and the launch could be visible from parts of Arizona depending on timing and conditions.
