SpaceX sets up 200th reflight with Cape Canaveral launch tonight

SpaceX is continuing its impressive streak of reusability with a planned launch on the Space Coast Saturday night, marking the 200th occasion the company has relied on a previously used booster to transport payloads into space.

The mission, known as Starlink 6-18, involves a Falcon 9 rocket carrying 22 Starlink satellites and is scheduled to take off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40 at 9:07 p.m.

Four additional launch opportunities are available on Saturday night, ranging from 9:57 p.m. to 12:05 a.m. on Sunday. In addition, there are four backup options for Sunday night between 8:41 p.m. and 11:39 p.m.

The first-stage booster, on its 17th flight, is aiming for a successful recovery landing on the droneship “Just Read the Instructions” in the Atlantic Ocean, equalling a record, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
