SpaceX is preparing to launch a batch Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station early Thursday morning.
The Starlink 10-31 mission will add another 29 broadband internet satellites to the low Earth orbit constellation that consists of more than 10,000 spacecraft. This will be the 46th mission supporting SpaceX’s Starlink program.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 is scheduled during a window that opens at 5:26 a.m. EDT (0926 UTC). The Falcon 9 rocket will launch on a north-easterly trajectory.
Spaceflight Now will have live coverage beginning about an hour prior to liftoff.
