CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – SpaceX is gearing up for a sunrise liftoff from Florida’s Space Coast with a Falcon 9 rocket that is set to carry the Starfall Demo mission to low-Earth orbit.
The one-hour launch window opens at 6:43 a.m. on Tuesday from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
If the launch doesn’t happen on Tuesday, SpaceX has a backup opportunity available on Wednesday, with the window opening at the same time.
Tuesday’s launch will mark the 29th flight for the Falcon 9’s first-stage booster, which has previously missions including Crew-6, SES O3b mPOWER-B, USSF-124, BlueBird 1-5, Nusantara Lima (PSN N5), and 23 Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the booster will attempt a landing on SpaceX’s A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
