Overview
- The Starlink 15-13 mission is scheduled for Dec. 16 with a 7:24 to 11:24 a.m. PT window from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base.
- A Falcon 9 rocket will carry 27 Starlink V2 mini satellites to low-Earth orbit.
- SpaceX plans to recover the first-stage booster on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean.
- This flight continues SpaceX’s December cadence from California and is the sixth Starlink mission of the month from Vandenberg.
- Arizona skywatchers may have limited views because the window opens near sunrise, and an FAA advisory suggests a backup opportunity could be available on Dec. 17.
