SpaceX to launch Starlink 15-24 mission from Vandenberg

SpaceX is scheduled to launch the Starlink 15-24 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The mission, which marks the 80th Starlink launch of 2026, aims to deliver 27 satellites into orbit using a Falcon 9 rocket.

The launch is planned for early Sunday morning, with a specific window provided by SpaceX. Following the ascent, the first-stage booster, identified as B1088, is expected to perform its 19th flight by landing on the droneship ‘Of Course I Still Love You’ located in the Pacific Ocean. Backup launch opportunities have been identified for Monday if technical or weather conditions prevent a Sunday liftoff.
