SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket is set for a launch on Tuesday, May 26, from Vandenberg Space Force Base, after being postponed from its original date of May 24. The Starlink 10-47 mission aims to deliver 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit, furthering the growth of Starlink's megaconstellation, which currently includes over 10,000 satellites.
Liftoff is scheduled between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., with a forecasted 85 percent chance of favorable weather, according to the 45th Weather Squadron. The Falcon 9 will utilize the first stage B1078, which is making its 28th flight and has achieved a total of 151 landings for this vessel and 614 booster landings for SpaceX overall.
This launch is significant as it marks Florida's 35th launch of the year, a notable decrease compared to last year's record of 109 launches. Similar missions are also planned, including another Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral on Monday morning.
