SpaceX is targeting Monday, August 7 at 8:57 p.m. PT (03:57 UTC on August 8) for a Falcon 9 launch of 15 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, additional launch opportunities are available at 10:38 p.m. PT (05:38 UTC on August 8) and 11:28 p.m. PT (06:28 UTC on August 8). Four backup opportunities are also currently available on Tuesday, August 8 starting at 8:32 p.m. PT (03:32 UTC on August 9) until 11:54 p.m. PT (06:54 UTC on August 9).

This is the fifth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched SDA-0A and three Starlink missions. 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.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
