Everything to know about Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral

Another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off Monday morning — but will dense fog thwart the view for launch spectators across Florida’s Space Coast?

Stay tuned. SpaceX is now targeting 5:54 a.m. EST to launch the Falcon 9 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on the Starlink 12-3 mission. Backup launch opportunities are available until 7:42 a.m., if needed.

The rocket’s upper stage will deploy a batch of Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit. After soaring along a southeasterly trajectory, the first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship out in the Atlantic Ocean.

The Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron predicted a 95% chance of “go for launch” weather. However, the National Weather Service is warning Monday morning motorists of dense, patchy fog in areas of East-Central Florida that will reduce visibility to less than one mile — and down to ¼ mile at times.

Then Monday evening, SpaceX will target a one-hour window from 6:32 p.m. to 7:32 p.m. to launch another Falcon 9 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. That rocket will deploy a pair of WorldView Legion imagery satellites — and trigger sonic booms when the booster descends to land at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
