The Starlink launch is expected to be the 14th flight for the first-stage booster used in the mission, which was previously used in CRS-22, Crew-3, Turksat 5B, Crew-4, CRS-25, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13G, mPOWER-a, PSN SATRIA, and five other Starlink missions.
This mission was previously scrubbed on Sunday. Upper-level winds kept the Falcon 9 rocket on the launch pad Sunday night.
