SpaceX is also targeting Sunday, June 19, for another Falcon 9 launch from nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Packed into the rocket's payload fairing will be a communications satellite for Globalstar, an American company that focuses on satellite services like satellite phones, trackers, and more.
That mission is set to take flight between 12:25 a.m. to 12:35 a.m. ET Sunday. The Space Force on Thursday said conditions for that launch should be about 70% "go."
"The late night timing of the primary and backup launch windows will do us some favors, as most of the thunderstorm activity should be over with, leaving nocturnal cloud cover in its wake," forecasters said.
For spectators interested in watching in person, both launches will include northeast trajectories. Neither will include local landings and will instead target drone ships, so don't expect sonic booms.
