SpaceX will use the Falcon 9 First Stage Booster with the rear number B1093 to start this mission. It starts a fourth time after three former batches of Starlink satellites had flown.

A little more than eight minutes after the upswing, B1093 will target a landing on the drunship. “Of course I still love you.” If this is successful, this is the 140th touchdown for this ship and the previous 475th booster landing.

This year Starlink 15-2 will be the 30th orbital flight from California and will combine the total number of orbital launches carried out throughout 2023. So far, all of these starts from SpaceX have been carried out with its Falcon 9 rocket.

Firefly Aerospace once started with its Alpha rocket on April 29, 2025, but an anomaly caused a problem with the Lightning Engine nozzle of the second stage, which prevented Lockheed Martin's use of the LM 400 technology.

A misfortune conducted by companies has not yet been completed and the Federal Aviation Administration has not clarified Firefly Aerospace for the resumption of the starts.

United Launch Alliance is preparing to resume the West Coast starts with its volcanic rocket in the course of this year. The company has revised the space start complex 3, which recently received a new swing arm on the tendon tower, is vented by hydrogen from the Centaur level.

Ula has not announced a start date for the first vulcan flight from Vandenberg.
