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.

16:32 I'll never get tired of seeing the first stage booster land. It amazes me each and every time like it's the first time ever seeing it.

Had the privilege of seeing this SpaceX launch in person (first time I have ever seen one!). It turned night into day! 😄

I waited 52 years of my life to see a launch live and this was the one I saw. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Mr. Musk and the SpaceX team for making a dream come true.

This is the only time I wish I lived in Florida… to see these launches at night would be amazing!

[dipaknadkarni]

Always amazing.
Such a professional team.

Well done Starlink and SpaceX teams. Lovely work.

I love watching rocket launches, have for over sixty years. Nothing like it.

[freebirdnorway]

Amazing as always. Great job Spacex! 👏

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.

16th landing??? I remember being floored when they first reused a booster once!

[LiterallyJustACucumber]

SpaceX is officially my favorite space company in the world and it will never change.
