Summary
Liftoff from Vandenberg Space Force Base is scheduled for about 6:16 p.m. Monday, with SpaceX preparing a Falcon 9 mission carrying 24 Starlink satellites.
The launch is aimed at placing the batch into low-Earth orbit, extending SpaceX's Starlink broadband constellation.
The mission uses a first-stage booster flying for the 15th time, underscoring the company's continued reliance on reused hardware.
After stage separation, that booster is expected to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean, a standard recovery step for future reflights.
