BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – SpaceX will attempt to launch a batch of Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station late Thursday.
A Falcon 9 is scheduled to take off from Space Launch Complex 40 during a window that opens at 11:01 p.m., according to SpaceX’s website.
Twenty-nine more Starlink internet satellites will be deployed in low-Earth orbit after what will be the first-stage booster’s fifth flight.
After stage separation, the booster — which has been used in four other Starlink missions — will try to land upright on SpaceX’s Just Read the Instructions droneship in the Atlantic ocean, according to SpaceX.
