SpaceX is set to launch a batch of its Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base Wednesday morning.
The Starlink 17-47 mission will add another 24 broadband internet to its low Earth orbit constellation. There are currently more than 10,000 satellites in orbit.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East is scheduled for 7:36 a.m. PDT (10:36 a.m. EDT / 1436 UTC). The Falcon 9 rocket will fly on a south-southwesterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about 30 minutes prior to liftoff.
