SpaceX was all ready to launch on Monday, but unfortunately uncooperative weather prevented sending up another 60 Starlink satellites. SpaceX will announce a new target launch date once confirmed, and Falcon 9 will lift off from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. One of Falcon 9’s fairing halves supported two previous Starlink launches. The Starlink satellites will deploy approximately 1 hour and 1 minute after liftoff.
Falcon 9’s first stage recently supported the launch of Crew Dragon’s first flight to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts onboard.
Last week SpaceX stood down from the launch attempt of its thirteenth Starlink mission due to severe weather in the recovery area, which persisted for several days.
Falcon 9’s first stage previously supported launch of Crew Dragon’s first flight to the International Space Station with NASA astronauts onboard and the ANASIS-II mission. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on the “Of Course I Still Love You” droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. One of Falcon 9’s fairing halves supported two previous Starlink launches.
The Starlink satellites will deploy approximately 1 hour and 1 minute after liftoff. You can watch the launch webcast here, starting about 15 minutes before liftoff.
