Summary
SpaceX is targeting an 8:27 a.m. liftoff from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s SLC-40 to send another batch of Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit.
The mission uses a Falcon 9 first-stage booster on its 27th flight, extending reuse of a rocket that previously flew Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, SES ASTRA 1P, NG-21 and 20 Starlink missions.
After launch, the booster is set to land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic, continuing SpaceX’s routine recovery-and-reuse cycle.
The flight supports SpaceX’s broader buildout of the Starlink constellation, which delivers broadband service worldwide, though launch timing still depends on weather and final countdown conditions.
