SpaceX Launches Starlink Satellites from Cape Canaveral Early Saturday

SpaceX is set to launch its 15th orbital mission of the year, a batch of Starlink internet satellites, from Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40 early on Saturday morning. The Falcon 9 rocket’s launch time has been confirmed as 1:14 a.m., with no sonic booms expected due to the first-stage booster landing on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

The launch marks another milestone for SpaceX’s Starlink program, which aims to provide global internet connectivity through a network of low-Earth orbit satellites. The mission comes ahead of the usual launch window, suggesting that weather conditions and other factors may have influenced the timing.

Live coverage of the launch will be available on FloridaToday.com/Space, starting 90 minutes before liftoff.
