[Launch Alert] Monday Launch

[Launch Alert]

The following is an advisory from Vandenberg SFB:

"Vandenberg Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Monday, December 1, from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E).

Liftoff is scheduled between 6:10 - 10:10 p.m.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the X TV app.

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.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.

Areas local to Vandenberg SFB will hear the initial low rumble of take-off.

Vandenberg SFB continues to provide safe and reliable access to space in support of national security and homeland defense."

Weather permitting, the event could be visible to the unaided eye across much of the Southwest and northwestern Mexico. It is uncertain if the rocket's exhaust plume will be illuminated by the Sun because the launch window opens 1 hour 20 minutes after Vandenberg SFB sunset.
