Rocket Launch Scheduled for Early Saturday at Vandenberg


A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch early Saturday morning from Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The launch time is scheduled for 12:10 a.m. as the NROL-126 mission for a four-hour launch window, Vandenberg confirmed.

If needed, an additional launch opportunity is available the same day, with the four-hour launch window opening at 11:54 p.m.

SpaceX’s rocket will launch a mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which will include the fifth batch of satellites for the agency’s so-called proliferated architecture.

Eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage booster will land on the droneship, ‘Of Course I Still Love You,’ in the Pacific Ocean.
