SpaceX is targeting Saturday, November 21 for a Falcon 9 launch of the NROL-136 mission from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The 30-minute launch window opens at 4:30 a.m. PT with a backup opportunity available on Sunday, November 22 at 4:16 a.m. PT.

A live webcast of the NROL-136 mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. 

This will be the 14th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Sentinel-6B, Twilight, NROL-172, Transporter-17, USSF-259, and eight Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on Landing Zone 4 (LZ-4) at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear  one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.
