SpaceX is preparing for its penultimate Falcon 9 rocket launch of October, which is set to fly from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station around lunchtime on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Starlink 10-37 mission will carry 29 of the company\u2019s Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites into low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n

Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled for 12:16 p.m. EDT (1616 UTC). The satellites will be deployed roughly an hour into the mission.<\/p>\n

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

The 45th Weather Squadron forecast a 95 percent chance for favorable weather during the launch window. Meteorologists said that conditions in the booster recovery area \u201cremain a watch item, due to elevated waves off the (South) Carolina coast.\u201d<\/p>\n

SpaceX will launch the mission using its first stage booster with the tail number B1083. This will be its 15th flight after launching missions, like Crew-8, Polaris Dawn and Intuitive Machines Mission 2.<\/p>\n

About 8.5 minutes after liftoff, B1083 will target a landing on the drone ship, \u2018Just Read the Instructions\u2019. If successful, this will be the 139th landing on this vessel and the 526th booster landing to date.<\/p>\n

The Starlink 10-37 mission will be just the second time that SpaceX launches the maximum number of the V2 Mini satellites that the Falcon 9 is capable of launching while flying in a reusable booster configuration. The first time SpaceX flew at max capacity was the Starlink 6-84 mission on May 4, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Falcon 9 stands ready for a Starlink mission at Cape Canaveral\u2019s pad 40.
