SpaceX started the month of March with a successful Falcon 9 launch from California and aims to replicate that in Florida Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The Starlink 10-41 mission will see the company return to Starlink flights heading off on a north-easterly trajectory, following a run of mostly south-easterly trajectory missions for the better part of four months.<\/p>\n

Liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 9:56:40 p.m. EST (0256:40 UTC). This will be SpaceX\u2019s 22nd mission of the year supporting its broadband internet satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n

Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.<\/p>\n

The 45th Weather Squadron forecast a 90 percent chance for favorable weather during the Sunday night launch window, citing a small chance for interference from cumulus clouds.<\/p>\n

SpaceX will launch the mission using the Falcon 9 first stage booster with the tail number 1078. This will be its 26th flight after launching previous missions, like Crew-6, Nusantara Lima and USSF-124.<\/p>\n

Less than 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1078 will target a landing on the droneship, \u2018Just Read the Instructions,\u2019 positioned in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South Carolina.<\/p>\n

If successful, this will be the 152nd landing on this vessel and the 580th booster landing for SpaceX to date.<\/p>\n

Following the Sunday morning launch of 25 Starlink satellites, SpaceX deployed a total of 566 of its satellites so far this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"File: A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket stands at Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[61,60,82,247],"class_list":{"0":"post-324087","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-science","11":"tag-space"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324087"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324087\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
