BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — SpaceX crews are preparing to launch another Falcon 9 rocket on Friday from Florida’s Space Coast.
The launch was initially set for Thursday at 1:29 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The rocket is aiming to send another batch of SpaceX Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit.
SpaceX said this rocket launch will be the 29th flight for the first stage booster supporting the mission, which previously launched CRS-24, Eutelsat HOTBIRD 13F, OneWeb 1, SES-18 and SES-19, and 24 Starlink missions.
Following the launch, the booster will attempt to launch again on SpaceX’s “Just Read the Instructions” droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.
