Space Development Agencys Tranche 0 Mission

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, April 2 at 7:29 a.m. PT (14:29 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of the Space Development Agencys Tranche 0 mission to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. If needed, a backup launch opportunity is available Monday, April 3 at the same time.

The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The space vehicles launched during this mission will serve a part of SDAs Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture , a new layered network of satellites in low-Earth orbit and supporting elements that will provide global military communication and missile warning, indication, and tracking capabilities.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.
