SpaceX Targets Monday Falcon 9 Launch From Kennedy Space Center — Reused Booster on 32nd Flight

SpaceX plans to launch a Falcon 9 from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center Monday at about 4:14 p.m. ET, carrying another batch of Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit. The mission will reuse a first-stage booster attempting its 32nd flight, having supported CRS-22, Crew-3 and many prior Starlink launches. After separation the booster is expected to land on the droneship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic. Channel 9 will provide live updates and streaming coverage.

SpaceX teams are targeting a Falcon 9 liftoff from Florida’s Space Coast on Monday, with an estimated launch time of about 4:14 p.m. ET. The rocket will lift off from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Mission Overview

The flight will carry another batch of Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit. SpaceX will reuse a first-stage booster that is attempting its 32nd flight — a vehicle that previously supported missions such as CRS-22, Crew-3 and roughly 20 earlier Starlink deployments.

Booster Recovery

After stage separation, the booster is planned to perform a controlled return and touch down on SpaceX’s autonomous droneship Just Read the Instructions stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Coverage and Notes

Channel 9 says it will monitor the planned launch and provide updates on Eyewitness News. Viewers can also download Channel 9’s news, weather and smart TV apps and stream Eyewitness News live through the station’s platforms.

Note: The scheduled liftoff time is preliminary and may change due to range or weather conditions.
