SpaceX plans to launch 25 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg Space Force Base on March 20, 2026, with a mission window from 2:48 a.m. to 6:48 p.m. PT. The Falcon 9 rocket will carry the payload into low-Earth orbit, marking the fourth flight of the first-stage booster previously used for the NROL-105 mission and two earlier Starlink launches. The booster will land on the droneship 'Of Course I Still Love You' in the Pacific Ocean after separating from the upper stage. Residents in Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear sonic booms during the mission, depending on weather and the rocket’s flight path. Some could feel vibrations or hear window rattling. SpaceX warned residents ahead of the launch, noting the potential for multiple sonic booms. The Falcon 9 rocket, a key part of SpaceX’s operations, has completed 614 missions, including 568 successful landings and 534 reflights. It is the first orbital-class reusable rocket, reducing costs for space payloads. To watch the launch, SpaceX will stream it live on its X account, website, and X TV app, starting five minutes before liftoff. Vandenberg Space Force Base has increased community outreach, launching a 'Mission Update' speaker series in February to address concerns about launch activity. The base aims to provide clearer information about operations as launch frequency grows. The mission will be the first Starlink launch from Vandenberg this year, following similar efforts at Cape Canaveral. No specific details about the satellites’ functions were provided in the mission summary, but Starlink continues to expand global broadband coverage.
