Starlink Mission
SpaceX is targeting Monday, January 17 for a Falcon 9 launch of 49 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 7:26 p.m. EST (00:36 UTC on January 18), and a backup opportunity is available on Tuesday, January 18 at 7:04 p.m. EST (00:04 UTC on January 19). The booster supporting this mission previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, and six Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. Each of Falcon 9's fairing halves previously supported one Starlink mission. A live webcast of this mission will begin about 15 minutes prior to liftoff.
