SpaceX Will Land Falcon 9 on Land During Upcoming Bandwagon-2 Mission

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, December 21 at 3:34 a.m. PT for a Falcon 9 launch of the Bandwagon-2 mission to orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, there is a backup opportunity on Saturday, December 21 at 3:12 a.m. PT.

About eight minutes after liftoff, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on SpaceX’s Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the landing, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

SpaceX’s live webcast will go live approximately 15 minutes before Falcon 9’s liftoff at spacex.com/launches.
