SpaceX Falcon 9 to Launch 29 Starlink Satellites in 4-Hour Florida Window
3 articles · Updated · Florida Today · Jul 13
Summary
A Falcon 9 is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex 40 on July 14, carrying 29 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit during a 3:15 a.m. to 7:15 a.m. ET window.
The mission will fly on a northeast trajectory, with no sonic booms expected on Florida’s Space Coast.
Weather and cloud cover will determine visibility, but launches on this path can sometimes be seen as far north as Jacksonville Beach, while Space Coast beaches and riverfront parks offer the closest views.
A pre-dawn launch also raises the chance of a visible 'space jellyfish' exhaust plume, a sunrise effect reported across parts of Florida after a July 9 launch.
Live coverage is set to begin 90 minutes before liftoff, and some NASA launch content is also available free through NASA+ on Prime Video.
