SpaceX is gearing up for another exciting rocket launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The aerospace company is scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 40 at 7:05 p.m. EDT, deploying a new batch of 23 Starlink internet satellites into space.
The Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron has predicted a high likelihood of favorable weather conditions for the launch, with a 95% chance of clear skies. This means that local residents can expect a smooth liftoff, with no sonic booms anticipated during the launch.
After liftoff, the rocket’s first-stage booster will attempt to land on a drone ship at sea just 8½ minutes later. Spectators can follow live coverage updates on the FLORIDA TODAY Space Team’s website, as well as SpaceX’s live webcast on X (formerly Twitter) five minutes before liftoff.
