SpaceX is set to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Thursday, January 9.

The launch is now set to take place at 7:52 PM.

The rocket is set to launch a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, designated NROL-153, into orbit.

A live broadcast of the launch is anticipated to start roughly ten minutes prior to liftoff, allowing viewers to watch the event in real-time.

Approximately eight minutes post-launch, SpaceX plans to land the first stage booster of the rocket on a droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean. A sonic boom is not anticipated to be audible in the surrounding area.

In the event that the launch is postponed, SpaceX has indicated that an alternative window will open at 7:34 p.m. on Friday.
