SpaceX is set to launch its next Falcon 9 — an overnight liftoff that will mark Florida’s 47th rocket launch of the year.
The liftoff is set for now no earlier than 5:10 a.m. Tuesday, July 14 from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. If needed, SpaceX has until 7:15 a.m. to make the launch window.
The mission, known as Starlink 10-45, will deliver 29 of the company’s Starlink satellites to orbit. The Falcon 9 rocket will travel on a northeast trajectory after liftoff.
No Brevard sonic booms are expected, as the rocket’s first stage booster will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
