Starlink Mission

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, August 26 at 9:05 p.m. ET (01:05 UTC on August 27) for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida. If needed, there are currently three additional launch opportunities starting at 9:56 p.m. ET (01:56 UTC) until 11:04 p.m. ET (03:04 UTC). Four backup opportunities are also currently available on Sunday, August 27 from 8:40 p.m. ET (00:40 UTC on August 28) until 10:39 p.m. ET (02:39 UTC).

This is the third flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched the ESA Euclid mission and Ax-2. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
