Starlink Mission

SpaceX is targeting Sunday, July 23 at 8:50 p.m. ET (00:50 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida. If needed, there are two additional launch opportunities available at 9:40 p.m. ET (1:40 UTC) and 10:31 p.m. ET (2:31 UTC on July 24). Up to four backup opportunities are also available on Monday, July 24 starting at 6:44 p.m. ET (22:44 UTC) until 10:06 p.m. ET (2:06 UTC on July 25).

This is the sixth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched CRS-26, OneWeb Launch 16, Intelsat IS-40e, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff.
