SpaceX set to launch Starlink mission
SpaceX is geared up to launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station this evening.
The mission targeting 6:12 p.m. will send 48 more Starlink satellites as well as two two Earth observation satellites from the company BlackSky Global after liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40.
The first stage booster previously flew on eight other missions. SpaceX will attempt to land it again on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic.
It’s the 27th Falcon 9 launch of 2021.
