In a highly anticipated event, SpaceX is set to launch 23 Starlink satellites from Florida on Tuesday morning, May 28, 2024. The Falcon 9 rocket will carry the satellites to low Earth orbit in what will be the 10th launch and landing for this particular first stage. This mission marks the sixth time this specific Falcon 9 first stage has been flown, with six of its nine flights to date being Starlink missions. The launch is scheduled for a four-hour window beginning at 7:30 a.m. EDT (1130 GMT) on Tuesday and will be the company's 53rd orbital mission of the year, as well as its 37th dedicated to building out the Starlink megaconstellation, which currently consists of nearly 6,000 operational satellites. SpaceX plans to launch about 150 missions this year in an effort to continue expanding their Starlink network and provide global internet access. The Falcon 9's upper stage will carry the satellites to their destination before returning to Earth, landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. With a successful launch and deployment of the Starlink satellites, SpaceX will continue its mission to revolutionize space travel and communication while pushing the boundaries of technology.
