Here's your weekly look at the upcoming launch schedule at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County.

Two rocket launches are scheduled for the week ahead from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.

And both of the missions will see SpaceX launch its Falcon 9 rocket to deploy two more batches of the commercial spaceflight company's Starlink broadband internet satellites to Earth orbit.

Californians - and potentially Arizonans - making their plans to watch any launches should keep in mind that lots can change between now and when each rocket is expected to lift off, as delays in spaceflight are common. Be sure to visit VC Star for the latest mission updates.
