SpaceX targeting early Wednesday morning for next Starlink launch from Cape Canaveral

SpaceX is targeting an early-morning launch window for its next Falcon 9 rocket launch that will expire at 4:31 a.m. Wednesday, a Federal Aviation Administration operations plan advisory shows.

This Starlink 6-48 mission launch window will open at midnight Tuesday, per the FAA. However, SpaceX has yet to publicly confirm this mission's existence or announce a target liftoff time.

The Falcon 9 will send up the latest batch of Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

After hurtling into space on a southeasterly trajectory, the Falcon 9's first-stage booster will target landing atop a SpaceX drone ship near the Bahamas. So, no Central Florida sonic booms are expected.

STARLINK MISSION

On Wednesday, April 10 at 1:40 a.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

This was the second flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-8, and now one Starlink mission.
