SpaceX is preparing to launch another batch of Starlink broadband satellites Thursday on a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base, bringing the total launched in 2025 to 2,600.
The Starlink 11-14 mission is scheduled to depart from Space Launch Complex 4 East at 1:13 p.m. PST (4:13 p.m. EST / 2113 UTC). The rocket will fly on a south-easterly trajectory upon leaving the California coastline.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about 30 minutes prior to liftoff.
SpaceX will launch the mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number B1093. This will be its eighth flight following missions, like the first two batches of satellites for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 1 Transport Layer and five other batch of Starlink satellites.
Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1093 will target a landing on the drone ship called ‘Of Course I Still Love You’, positioned in the Pacific Ocean. This will be the 163rd landing on this vessel and the 530th booster landing to date.
