SpaceX aims to launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites tonight (May 2), on the second half of a planned spaceflight doubleheader.
A Falcon 9 rocket topped with 23 Starlink spacecraft is scheduled to lift off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station tonight during a 3.5-hour window that opens at 9:49 p.m. EDT (0149 GMT on May 3). SpaceX will webcast the action via its X account, beginning about five minutes before the window opens.
The Starlink launch will be SpaceX's second of the day, if all goes according to plan. A Falcon 9 is scheduled to loft two Earth-observation satellites for the company Maxar from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base today at 2:36 p.m. EDT (1836 GMT).
