SpaceX will launch a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida early Tuesday morning, using a first-stage booster making a record-breaking 37th flight.
The Starlink 10-49 mission will add another 29 broadband internet satellites to the company’s low Earth orbit constellation consisting of more than 11,000 spacecraft. It could be the last Starlink flight from Cape Canaveral for a while, with no further missions for the company’s internet service appearing on the near-term schedule.
So far this year, SpaceX has launched 44 out of 76 Starlink missions from its West Coast launch site at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The company’s Cape Canaveral workforce has been refocused on Starship preparations.
Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled for 5:33 a.m. EDT (0933 UTC). The rocket will head off on a north-easterly trajectory upon leaving the pad.
