A SpaceX Starlink 12-9 mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 40 on Friday at 1:50 p.m. EST. The rocket will travel southeast and may be visible south of the Cape, offering a treat for those in the area. The Space Force predicts a 95% chance of favorable conditions, making it likely that those who plan to observe the launch will see it without sonic booms. Eight minutes after liftoff, the first stage will attempt to land on a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean. Live updates will be provided by Florida Today starting 90 minutes before launch at FloridaToday.com/Space.
