SpaceX is gearing up for yet another rocket launch from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, marking the third time in less than a month that the company has sent a rocket into space. The previous launches on March 18 and April 1 were visible in the skies of southern Arizona, and residents can expect another spectacle this Saturday, April 6 at 7:26 p.m.
The upcoming launch will see a rocket carrying Starlink satellites, which are part of SpaceX’s plan to provide global high-speed internet coverage. Residents in southern Arizona may witness the rocket trail and the satellites in the sky for a few hours, although the satellites will become almost invisible once they reach their orbit.
This launch is particularly special as it will be the sixth flight for the first-stage booster, which is expected to land on a droneship in the Pacific Ocean. Viewers who are unable to witness the launch in person can watch it live on the 13 News YouTube channel and subscribe for updates.
SpaceX’s frequent launches are a testament to the company’s dedication to advancing space technology and exploration. With each successful mission, SpaceX gets one step closer to achieving its goal of making space travel more accessible and efficient for all.
