SpaceX launched 25 Starlink satellites from Vandenberg SFB's SLC-4E at 4:03 PM PDT on March 26. Booster B1081, on its 23rd flight, landed on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific about 8.5 minutes after liftoff, the 186th touchdown on that vessel and SpaceX's 591st booster landing overall. The mission had slipped two days from a March 24 target. The ascent sonic boom propagated southeast and was detected across Ventura County near Oxnard and Camarillo about 9 minutes after liftoff, consistent with the propagation pattern from previous Vandenberg launches.
