SpaceX’s Falcon 9 launched Iridium-4 mission, 10 satellites to low- Earth orbit for Iridium, from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, on 23 December 2017, at 01:27 UTC (22 December, at 17:27 PST). At approximately 57 minutes after the launch, the deployment of the ten Iridium NEXT satellites was initiated. Falcon 9’s first stage for the Iridium-4 mission previously supported the Iridium-2 mission in June 2017 and SpaceX did not attempt to recover Falcon 9’s first stage after this launch.
