SpaceX Planning Friday & Saturday Launches

SpaceX has announced a Falcon 9 rocket launch scheduled for this Friday from the Kennedy Space Center. The mission will deploy 23 more Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, with the launch window opening at 8:13am and closing at 12:13pm on Friday. Following separation, the rocket’s first stage will land on the droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, meaning we won’t hear the sonic booms here along the Space Coast this time around. Another launch is on the schedule for the next day. Another Falcon 9 will take more Starlink satellites up with the launch window set for Saturday beginning at 7:21am and closing at 11:21am. The first stage of that rocket will also attempt to land on a drone ship.
