SpaceX will launch another batch of Starlink V2 Mini satellites into low Earth orbit Monday evening on a Falcon 9 rocket flying from Vandenberg Space Force Base.
The Starlink 15-14 mission will add another 24 broadband internet satellites the company’s low Earth orbit constellation. It currently has more than 10,700 spacecraft in orbit.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East is scheduled for 6:17 p.m. PDT (9:17 p.m. EDT / 0117 UTC).
