Starlink Mission
SpaceX is targeting Tuesday, August 9 for a Falcon 9 launch of 52 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch is at 6:57 p.m. ET, or 22:57 UTC, and a backup opportunity is available on Wednesday, August 10 at 6:36 p.m. ET, or 22:36 UTC. The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched one Starlink mission and SES-22. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage will return to Earth and land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
