<\/p>\n The action will start at 11:10 a.m. EDT (1510 GMT) with the launch of the Crew-13<\/a> astronaut mission for NASA, which will head toward the International Space Station<\/a> atop a Falcon 9<\/a> rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.<\/p>\n Next up is the Transporter-18 rideshare mission, which will send 130 payloads to orbit, including a prototype satellite<\/a> for Google’s Project Suncatcher AI constellation.<\/p>\n Transporter-18 will fly on a Falcon 9 from the West Coast, lifting off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base<\/a> during a 58-minute window that opens at 2:18 p.m. EDT (1818 GMT; 11:18 a.m. local California time).<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n The action shifts back to Florida’s Space Coast for the final leg of the tripleheader. If all goes to plan, a Falcon Heavy<\/a> rocket will launch the classified NROL-97 mission for the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center<\/a> tonight at 11:53 p.m. EDT (0353 GMT on Oct. 2).<\/p>\n You can watch all of these launches live. Space.com will stream the Crew-13 launch, courtesy of NASA, and SpaceX will webcast Transporter-18 and NROL-97 on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n The only other time that SpaceX has launched three missions in such a short timeframe was March 14-15 of 2025, when three Falcon 9 rockets launched in a 12.5-hour span<\/a>.<\/p>\n The first two rockets lofted the Crew-10 astronaut mission and the Transporter-13 rideshare flight. The final Falcon 9 sent 23 of SpaceX’s Starlink<\/a> internet satellites to low Earth orbit<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today’s missions, by the way, come on the heels of the 14th test flight<\/a> of SpaceX’s Starship<\/a> megarocket, which saw the vehicle reach Earth orbit for the first time ever. So the company is giving all of its active rockets a workout this week, if current schedules hold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SpaceX has a very big day planned.
