SpaceX - Falcon 9 - Starlink Group 7-5 - SLC-4E - Vandenberg SFB - Space Affairs Livestream

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, October 21 at 12:47 a.m. PDT, 07:47 UTC, 09:47 CEST for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, three backup opportunities are available starting at 1:23 a.m. PT until 3:00 a.m. PT. Six backup opportunities are also currently available on Saturday, October 21 starting at 11:26 p.m. PT until 2:50 a.m. PT on Sunday, October 22. This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-1, Crew-2, SXM-8, CRS-23, IXPE, Transporter-4, Transporter-5, Globalstar FM15, ISI EROS C-3, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean. Our live webcast of this mission will begin about ten minutes before liftoff. There will be no live comment from a SpaceX commentator for this launch; you will hear the mission control loop. A note: Livestreams by SpaceX on X (Formerly known as Twitter) are sometimes not of excellent quality. If this is to be seen during a live stream, we will share the replay of the mission directly afterward on our live stream after the scheduled one.
