Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base has been postponed

VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE BASE, Calif. – SpaceX has postponed the launch of the OneWeb Launch 20 Falcon 9 mission to low Earth orbit Sunday evening, according to a VSFB launch alert.

The new launch window was pushed back by SpaceX to next week from Tuesday, October 1st at the earliest.

The 20-satellite OneWeb Launch 20 mission was scheduled for Sunday, September 29, at 11:54 p.m

“All launch dates and times are subject to change based on mission requirements,” SpaceX said.

According to SpaceX, local residents can expect a sonic boom when landing back to base, but this depends on weather and other conditions.

A live webcast of the launch begins here approximately 10 minutes before launch.

After separation in the first stage, the booster will return to Earth and land in Landing Zone 4 at Vandenberg Space Force Base, as shown in the diagram below, courtesy of SpaceX.

This will be the seventh flight of the first booster stage supporting the mission that previously launched the USSF-62 mission and five Starlink missions.
