Live coverage: SpaceX to launch 60th Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg SFB in 2025

SpaceX aims to launch its 60th Falcon 9 rocket of the year from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday evening.

The Starlink 15-10 mission is set to add another 27 broadband internet satellites to the company’s massive low Earth orbit constellation. By the end of November, it had launched more than 2,800 of its satellites this year alone.

SpaceX is targeting liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East at 9:28 p.m. PST (12:28 a.m. EST / 0528 UTC).

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 1081. This will be its 20th flight after supporting previous missions, like NASA’s Crew-7, CRS-29, PACE and TRACERS.

Nearly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1081 will target a landing on the drone ship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You’. If successful, this will be the 166th landing on this vessel and the 542nd booster landing to date.
