SpaceX Plans Launch Tonight

It’s still on schedule… SpaceX still plans to launch a Falcon 9 rocket late tonight. The targeted liftoff window is about four hours long… opening at 11:01pm and closing tomorrow morning at 2:59. The payload will be another 23 Starlink internet satellites and the flight is set to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s launch complex 40. The first stage booster will land minutes after liftoff on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, meaning there will be no sonic booms here along the Space Coast. As for the weather… forecasters predict a 90% chance of favorable conditions.
