UPDATE 3: SpaceX is now targeting Thursday, February 8 for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 4:56 p.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 8:54 p.m. PT. This new date is after the scheduled Falcon 9 mission on Tuesday was bumped to Wednesday. Both delays are due to unfavorable weather conditions, according to officials.

This is the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, Transporter-9, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.
