Update 12:56 a.m. EST (0556 UTC): SpaceX landed its Falcon 9 first stage booster following liftoff.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Against the backdrop of a characteristically foggy night at the Vandenberg Space Force Base, SpaceX launched its 400th Falcon 9 rocket on an orbital flight. The Starlink 9-13 mission also marked SpaceX\u2019s 100th launch to date from the West Coast.<\/p>\n

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) happened at 9:25:30 p.m. PST (12:25:30 a.m. EST, 0525:30 UTC). SpaceX didn\u2019t publicly announce its target T-0 prior to launch, but the CelesTrak website said SpaceX provided it with that launch time.<\/p>\n

The mission appeared to be the first time that SpaceX would not stream the launch or booster landing live. Unlike previous recent missions, SpaceX didn\u2019t made a statement on its profile on X, formerly Twitter, about the upcoming launch or how to view it.<\/p>\n

Suddenly at 12:27 a.m. EST (0527 UTC), nearly two minutes after liftoff, SpaceX began streaming onboard camera views from its Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX founder Elon Musk also shared a link to the livestream two minutes after it began.<\/p>\n

Onboard the Starlink 9-13 mission are 20 V2 Mini satellites, of which 13 feature Direct to Cell capabilities. Deployment of the satellites was confirmed just over an hour after liftoff.<\/p>\n

The Falcon 9 first stage booster for this mission, tail number B1075 in the SpaceX fleet, launched for a 15th time. It previously supported the launches of Transporter-11, SDA-0A, SARah-2 and 11 Starlink satellites.<\/p>\n

A little more than eight minutes after liftoff,  B1075 landed on the SpaceX droneship, \u2018Of Course I Still Love You.\u2019 This marked the 110th booster landing on OCISLY and the 373rd booster landing to date.<\/p>\n
