Starlink Mission



SpaceX is targeting Saturday, July 15 at 11:50 p.m. ET (3:50 UTC) for a Falcon 9 launch of 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida. If needed, a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, July 16 at 11:24 p.m. ET (3:24 UTC).

This is the 16th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched GPS III-3, Turksat 5A, Transporter-2, Intelsat G-33/G-34, Transporter-6, and 10 Starlink missions. After stage separation, Falcon 9 will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship in the Atlantic Ocean.

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

  1. Why is Space X still using chemical rockets? Not to mention, pretending to be an advanced space agency. The Space Force holds 3 patents of crafts using antigravitc propulsion allowing for interstellar travel. So, again I ask, why are you still using chemical rockets while your colleagues and peers are using anti gravitc propulsion? As advanced as you may see yourselves, you are still using technology from what seems like the mid-20th century.

  2. Had a quick look and space x’s 6 oldest active boosters 1058 through 1067 have completed 84 launches between them and all flew again over last 3 mths. 84 launches from 6 boosters and all will go again. Hey reusability critics, where have you gone??. Payload, refurbishment cost, reliability, development cost and so much more were all reasons space x direction was wrong 😂😂. It’s ok you still have SLS 😂😂

  3. Why do the commentators think they need to explain terms like 'supersonic' every single launch? It's like a NASCAR race announcer explaining what a steering wheel does. Anyone interested enough to be watching already knows this.

  4. The pace at which humans are launching rockets is just amazing. Thanks to SpaceX majorly, but just day before yesterday India launched their own. This is such a surreal time to be alive. Launches like these use to take years on end in the 60's.
