SpaceX launched the Transporter-16 rideshare mission from Vandenberg SFB's SLC-4E at 4:02 AM PDT on March 30. The flight carried 119 smallsat payloads including cubesats, microsats, hosted payloads, a reentry vehicle, and orbital transfer vehicles. The booster, on its 12th flight after previously supporting SDA T1TL-B, T1TL-C, and nine Starlink missions, landed on the drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" in the Pacific. The ascent sonic boom was detected across Ventura County near Oxnard and Port Hueneme about 9 minutes after liftoff, in the pre-dawn hours.
