CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX is aiming for another launch of Starlink satellites into space Thursday.
How many satellites will hitch a ride this time? A whopping 53 satellites will be launched to low-Earth orbit.
Liftoff is targeted for an instantaneous launch window of 1:51 p.m. ET from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Liftoff was anticipated earlier in the day but was delayed because of the weather.
"The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, and eight Starlink missions," SpaceX leaders explain.
Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth after separation and land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
You can catch the mission from SpaceX with live coverage starting about 15 minutes prior to liftoff. Or you can tune into 10 Tampa Bay, where we will be streaming live on Facebook and YouTube.
