Cape Canaveral: Is there a launch today? Upcoming SpaceX, Axiom, ULA rocket launch schedule at Cape Canaveral "This latest satellite marks another milestone in our over two-decade partnership with SiriusXM, supporting the continued evolution of their satellite radio network," Maxar Space Systems officials said in a May 15 tweet, which noted the satellite had arrived at KSC via truck ahead of launch. Maxar has built SiriusXM's satellite network, dating to the first-generation versions launched in 2000. The SXM-10 satellite and its two future companions, SXM-11 and SXM-12, represent third-generation spacecraft. During the upcoming launch window, scattered showers and thunderstorms should emerge between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, the National Weather Service reported. Overall chance of precipitation: 60%. Partly cloudy skies should otherwise prevail, with a low around 73 and south-southeast wind around 5 mph turning southwest after midnight. On Dec. 5, a Falcon 9 launched the SiriusXM SXM-9 satellite into transfer orbit from NASA's Kennedy Space Center. That milestone mission marked the 100th time a Falcon first-stage booster landed atop the SpaceX drone ship Just Read the Instructions in the Atlantic Ocean. Looking ahead to next week, another Falcon 9 will launch Axiom Space’s quartet of commercial astronauts to the International Space Station on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. Liftoff is scheduled for 8:22 a.m. Tuesday, June 10, from pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The Ax-4 mission commander is former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson. She is joined by astronauts from India, Poland and Hungary.
