SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 carrying 22 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, initially grounded due to unfavorable weather, was scheduled for a launch attempt on February 7, targeting 9:01 p.m. as its liftoff time. However, this was subject to weather conditions. The plan was to deploy 22 Starlink satellites into orbit and had backup opportunities on February 7, starting at 5:17 p.m. The reusable first-stage booster was expected to land on an autonomous droneship in the Pacific Ocean after stage separation. This would be the rocket's 14th flight, having previously supported other satellite launches and missions. A live webcast of the mission was scheduled for approximately five minutes before liftoff.
