[Launch Alert] Launch on Schedule

[Launch Alert]

This morning's (January 19) Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg SFB, Calif. appears to be on schedule for 7:23 or 7:43 a.m. PST (there is some disagreement on the time, but 7:23 a.m. is probably correct).

Following liftoff, the vehicle will fly towards the south-southeast and roughly parallel the coast as it carries several Starlink commercial Internet satellites into orbit. The initial portion of the launch could be visible to the unaided eye within 100 statute miles of the launch site and either side of the flight path of the first stage.

Countdown status and video feeds of the launch may be available from the following sources:
