SpaceX is targeting a Wednesday evening launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base to send 24 Starlink V2 Mini satellites into orbit. The Starlink 17-45 mission is scheduled for 8:19 p.m. PDT (11:19 p.m. EDT / 0319 UTC) from Space Launch Complex 4E. The Falcon 9 booster B1081, which will carry the payload, is set to make its 25th flight and return to the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. Satellite deployment is expected just over an hour into the flight. Live coverage will begin 30 minutes before the scheduled launch time. SpaceX has been increasing its launch cadence at Vandenberg, with this mission marking the seventh of eight planned launches from the West Coast in June. The company has shifted more Starship operations to Cape Canaveral, focusing Falcon 9 launches at Vandenberg while reserving Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center for Falcon Heavy missions. This allows construction of the East Coast Starship facility at 39A to proceed with fewer interruptions. In April, SpaceX announced plans to repurpose the drone ship 'Just Read the Instructions' for transporting Starship components between Texas and Florida. The current launch schedule highlights SpaceX's dual focus on expanding Starlink and advancing Starship development. The mission will add to the growing constellation of Starlink satellites, which aims to provide global broadband internet. With two launch pads at Cape Canaveral, SpaceX is using Space Launch Complex 40 for Falcon 9 missions, while Falcon Heavy operations are concentrated at 39A. This division of labor supports both the Starlink network and the company's long-term goals for interplanetary travel. The launch from Vandenberg will be the first of two Falcon 9 missions this week, with a second Starlink mission planned for June 25. SpaceX's ability to rapidly reuse boosters, such as B1081, underscores its progress in reducing launch costs and increasing operational efficiency.
