Hey everyone, exciting news! There’s a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket scheduled for launch this afternoon from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It’ll be carrying a bunch of Starlink internet satellites, which is pretty cool.
The launch window opens up at 11:34 a.m. and goes until 4:05 p.m. EDT, so keep your eyes on the sky if you’re in the Treasure Coast or Space Coast areas of Florida. The launch site is Launch Complex 40, and the trajectory is southeast.
Good news for those worried about noise: there won’t be any local sonic boom to deal with.
After liftoff, the booster will attempt to land on a drone ship out in the Atlantic Ocean, which is always impressive to watch.
If you want to catch the action live, coverage will start 90 minutes before liftoff at floridatoday.com/space.
So, who’s up for watching some rockets soar into the sky today? It’s always a breathtaking sight!
