Against the colorful backdrop of a brightening sky, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket rose from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station one minute after sunrise Thursday, June 4.
SpaceX’s Starlink 10-43 mission lifted off at 6:26 a.m. from Launch Complex 40, then deployed 29 internet satellites into low-Earth orbit.
Next, SpaceX will launch another Falcon 9 on a similar Starlink mission the morning of Monday, June 8. That four-hour launch window will extend from 6:07 a.m. to 10:07 a.m. at the Space Force installation.
Live FLORIDA TODAY Space Team coverage of that mission will start roughly 90 minutes before liftoff at floridatoday.com/space.
