SpaceX Set For Back To Back Launches

SpaceX launched another batch of Starlink satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station early this morning, and now another mission is set to take place later today. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch Complex 40 at one minute after midnight, taking another 22 Starlink internet satellites to a low-Earth orbit…

That rocket’s first stage then made a successful landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking it’s 15th successful mission. Next up, a triple-core Falcon Heavy rocket will launch from pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center tonight. A 99 minute launch window opens at 11:04 p.m. Shortly after liftoff, the rocket’s two side boosters will attempt to make near-simultaneous landings at the Cape’s Landing Zones 1 and 2, meaning if all goes as planned tonight, we will hear some loud sonic booms when the rockets return.
