Mission Details
Starlink Group 13-4
SpaceX launch of a batch of Starlink v2-mini satellites for their second-generation high-speed low earth orbit internet satellite constellation.

The previous Group 13 mission (13-1) carried two classified payloads (USA 485 & 486), suspected to be Starshield payloads, in addition to its Starlink payload. The announced payload of 19 Starlink satellites on this launch indicates that this mission may similarly carry more classified payloads, as previous recent missions to this inclination have included 24 Starlink satellites, 5 more than are on this mission.
Manufacturer/Operator: SpaceX  Payloads: 19    Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Location
SLC-4E, Vandenberg SFB, California, USA

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is targeted to launch 19 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.
This will be the 27th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-87, NROL-85, SARah-1, SWOT, Transporter-8, Transporter-9, Transporter-13, NROL-146, Bandwagon-2, NROL-153, NROL-192, and 15 Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean...

While we wait for the #crew11 launch. We are just under an hour away from the @Starlink 13-4 mission. This mission will only carry 19 Starlinks and maybe a couple of classified payloads? The last group 13 mission carried 2.

SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches from California with 19 Starlink satellites
  Spaceflight Now
Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket with 19 optimized Starlink v2 Mini internet satellites. Liftoff from pad 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base is currently on hold and a new launch date has not been announced by SpaceX. The launch timing for this Starlink mission hinges on the launch timing of the Crew-11 flight to the International Space Station from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The first-stage booster, B1071, making its 27th flight, will land on the drone ship 'Of Course I Still Love You' a little more than eight minutes into the flight.
The Starlink 13-4 mission will head on a southerly trajectory on departure from Vandenberg.
Our live coverage with commentary from Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith will begin about 30 minutes before launch.
