BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX crews are preparing to launch another Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.
SpaceX plans to launch 27 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The launch is scheduled for 12:26 a.m. Saturday from Space Launch Complex 40, with backup opportunities extending until 4:26 a.m.
If necessary, additional launch windows are available on Sunday, June 29, at 12:04 a.m.
This mission marks the fifth flight for the Falcon 9 first-stage booster, which has previously supported missions including CRS-32, NROL-69, GPS III-7, and a prior Starlink mission.
After the launch, SpaceX plans to launch the booster again on its droneship “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
