SpaceX’s Starlink is the constellation of networked satellites aimed to provide internet services to those who are not yet connected, and to provide reliable and affordable internet across the globe.

Main article:

SpaceX teams at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station are now targeting the middle of the week for the company’s next launch of a batch of Starlink internet satellites.

A 230-foot Falcon 9 rocket is slated to fly from Launch Complex 40 during a two-hour window that opens at 8:35 a.m. EST Wednesday, March 9. The opportunity to launch closes at 10:36 a.m. EST.

The delay from Tuesday to Wednesday translates to a slight improvement in the weather forecast from 80% to 90% “go.” SpaceX has not confirmed the existence of this mission so a reason for a delay was not given, but the company’s launch request is solidly on the Eastern Range’s calendar.
