Celebrating people using Starlink in interesting ways — epic and everyday.
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, October 15 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 1:34 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 5:22 a.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday, October 16 starting at 2:33 a.m. ET.
According to weather officials, there’s a 95% chance of favorable weather conditions at the time of the launch. The forecast calls for a temperature of 75°F, clear skies, 0% cloud cover and a wind speed of 8mph.
A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.
This is the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Euclid, Axiom-2, Axiom-3, Cygnus NG-21, SES 24, CRS-30, and four Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
