CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – It could be a Tuesday turnaround for SpaceX, as the private space company plans to launch a rocket from Florida’s Space Coast.
In the first Falcon 9 liftoff attempt since Hurricane Milton, SpaceX is targeting a 1:34 a.m. launch for its Starlink mission, which will deploy 23 satellites into low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Backup opportunities for that launch are available until 5:22 a.m.. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Wednesday starting at 2:33 a.m.
The launch will mark the 11th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Euclid, Axiom-2, Axiom-3, Cygnus NG-21, SES 24, CRS-30, and four other Starlink missions.
Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
