SpaceX plans to launch Transporter-8, its eighth dedicated small satellite ride share mission, from Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Station in California on Monday, 2023-06-12 at 21:19 UTC. The mission will launch 72 payloads for a variety of customers into a Sun-synchronous circular orbit around 500 km with an inclination of 97.4°. Falcon 9 first stage booster B1071 will be making its ninth flight after a turnaround of 87 days since its last flight, with landing near the launch site which, if successful, will be the 200th landing of a Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy booster.
Here is the pre-launch preview from Everyday Astronaut.
