Unofficial Re-stream

Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket from California carrying a classified payload for the U.S. Space Force. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 8:36:30 p.m. PST (11:36:30 p.m. EDT  / 0336:30 UTC).

The first-stage booster, serial number B1103, launching for an seventh time, will land on the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' about 8.5 minutes into the flight.

The USSF-627 mission will take a south-easterly trajectory upon departure from Vandenberg. 

Live commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will be provided starting about 30 minutes prior to launch.

Amazon Leo, formerly known as Project Kuiper, is a mega constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit that will offer broadband internet access, this constellation will be managed by Kuiper Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon. This constellation is planned to be composed of 3,276 satellites. The satellites are projected to be placed in 98 orbital planes in three orbital layers, one at 590 km, 610 km and 630 km altitude.

45 satellites will be carried on each Vulcan launch.

ULA's optimized Vulcan heavy-lifter is delivering spacecraft into low Earth orbit for Amazon Leo. The advanced broadband satellites are designed to deliver fast, reliable internet to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. The initial Amazon constellation will include more than 3,000 satellites working together in coordinated orbits around Earth.

Orbital Launch Mount B

15th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle and 4th flight of Starship V3. Second Starship flight to deploy satellites (a group of Starlink satellites known as Starlink Group 31-2) into stable Low Earth Orbit and first ever to attempt returning the Starship 2nd stage back to the launch site.

The ship is expected to fly at an altitude approximately 275 km above Earth and complete approximately 14 orbits around the planet for more than 22 hours, with the ship expected to attempt returning back to Starbase, Texas on its launch pad by pad arms catching.

The booster’s primary test objective on Flight 15 will be executing a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing by pad arms catching. This will also be the 1st Starship V3 booster to attempt returning to its launch site.

Starship will deliver 26 Starlink V3 satellites to orbit for the second time, which aim to greatly expand the network's capacity and user speeds. Each Starlink V3 satellite will add 1 Tbps of capacity to the constellation. 3 of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heatshield and transmit imagery down to operators.

LOXSAT 1 is a demonstration satellite of a complete cryogenic oxygen fluid management system in orbit, developed by Eta Space and sponsored by NASA's Tipping Point program.

The system will be integrated on a Rocket Lab Photon-LEO satellite bus and collect critical cryogenic fluid management data in orbit for 9 months, demonstrating capabilities of in-space cryogenic storage and transferal. Eta Space plans to use technology developed for this mission to develop a truly commercial depot intended to serve multiple customers in the future.
