SpaceX is preparing to launch its latest Starlink mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base early Wednesday morning.
The Starlink 15-22 mission will add another 27 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit megaconstellation. SpaceX has flown more than 2,000 of its Starlink satellites to orbit so far this year.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East is scheduled for 2:34 a.m. PDT (5:34 a.m. EDT / 0934 UTC). The rocket will fly on a south-easterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about 30 minutes prior to liftoff.
