SpaceX今日从加州Vandenberg发射27颗星链卫星 助推器将迎第36次飞行

SpaceX 定于当地时间10月20日下午,在加州 Santa Barbara County 的 Vandenberg Space Force Base 执行星链(Starlink)15-15 任务,用猎鹰9号(Falcon 9)火箭将27颗 Starlink V2 Mini 优化版卫星送入近地轨道。发射窗口为太平洋时间下午3时14分至7时14分,发射台是基地的 Space Launch Complex 4 East(SLC-4E)。
据 SpaceX 公布的任务信息,执行本次任务的一级助推器编号 B1063,这将是它第36次飞行,此前曾执行 Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich、美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的 DART 小行星防御任务、Transporter-7 以及26次星链任务。级间分离后,助推器将由停在太平洋上的无人回收船「Of Course I Still Love You」回收。SpaceX 将在升空前约10分钟开始网络直播。
据《Ventura County Star》统计,这将是加州今年第71次轨道发射,追平2025年的年度纪录;若10月23日的另一次星链发射按计划进行,加州将刷新纪录。SpaceX 提示,Santa Barbara、San Luis Obispo 与 Ventura 三县居民在发射期间可能听到音爆,实际感受取决于天气等条件。
SpaceX to Launch 27 Starlink Satellites From Vandenberg Today; Booster Set for 36th Flight
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday afternoon, October 20, for its Starlink Group 15-15 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County, California. A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to carry 27 Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites to low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E), with a launch window running from 3:14 p.m. to 7:14 p.m. Pacific Time.
According to SpaceX's mission information, the first-stage booster, tail number B1063, will be flying for the 36th time. It previously supported the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission, NASA's DART asteroid-deflection mission, Transporter-7 and 26 Starlink missions. After stage separation, the booster is to land on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You, stationed in the Pacific Ocean. SpaceX's live webcast is expected to begin about 10 minutes before liftoff.
The Ventura County Star reported that the flight would be California's 71st orbital launch attempt of 2026, tying the annual record set in 2025; another Starlink launch planned for Friday, October 23, would break it. SpaceX said residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties may hear sonic booms during the launch, depending on weather and other conditions.
