SpaceX Falcon 9 Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Station in California

On August 4, 2024, SpaceX launched 23 Starlink satellites to orbit via Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

The company gave a weather update and cleared the vehicle for the propellant load. This is the second liftoff in the past two days and will contribute new satellites to the Starlink constellation.

Once separated, the first stage returned to Earth and landed on a droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean. This was the sixth flight for the first stage as it previously supported the USSF-62 launch.
