SpaceX prepares the sound and light show of a landing in California

If you see something on Sunday night that seems to come from the space, that's what happened. But do not worry. It's just a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket landing in California for the first time.

The Elon Musk launch company is expected to send one of the Block 5 Falcon 9 rockets previously used in space on Sunday. The rocket will carry an Argentinean satellite of terrestrial imagery and deliver it in orbit.

About ten minutes after takeoff, which is scheduled for 19:21. TAP at Vandenberg Air Base, the first leg of the Falcon 9 will return to the nearby landing area.

"Residents of the area can see the first phase of the Falcon 9 return to Vandenberg Air Force Base, including multiple engine burns associated with the landing," says an Air Force statement. "When attempting to land, residents of Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties may hear one or more sonic booms."

SpaceX had previously launched a Falcon 9 from Vandenberg and had landed off the Pacific Ocean aboard a drone. This will be the first landing on the west coast.

The first step of this particular Falcon 9 was used on July 25 launch that brought ten Iridium satellites.

The launch had been scheduled for Saturday night, but was delayed by 24 hours to allow extra time for last minute checks.

SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for information on the launch.

Los Angeles is also home to SpaceX and the company has rented part of the city's port to start working on its Big Falcon Rocket, commonly known as "BFR". Musc hopes BFR will transport a group of artists around the moon in five years. Ultimately, he says, it could bring humans to Mars.

Takeoffs and landings in central California could become a more common phenomenon as the company works to accelerate its launch rate in the coming months.

NASA is 60 years old: the space agency has pushed humanity further than anyone and plans to go further.
