The U.S. Space Force has approved a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch for the USSF-385 mission, set for Saturday morning from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The launch window opens at 7 a.m., with a backup opportunity on Sunday at 5:49 a.m. After stage separation, the booster will return to the Pacific Ocean for retrieval. Residents in nearby counties may hear sonic booms during the launch, depending on conditions. This mission marks the 10th flight for the booster, which has previously supported nine missions. A live webcast will begin 10 minutes before liftoff, accessible on the SpaceX website and the new X TV app. Launch times may change due to mission requirements.
