SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch Rescheduled for Monday with Favorable Weather Forecast

SpaceX is set to launch another batch of its Starlink internet satellites to low Earth orbit from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Monday, June 12, between 2:40 a.m. and 5:22 a.m. EDT. The weather conditions are expected to be mostly favorable for the pre-dawn launch, with an 85% chance of "go" conditions during the nearly three-hour launch window. The Falcon 9 booster will target a drone ship landing in the Atlantic Ocean, which means no local sonic booms with this launch. The Starlink satellites are built for a lifespan of only about five years, and SpaceX anticipates regular Starlink launches for the foreseeable future.
