SpaceX targeting Wednesday-Thursday launch doubleheader from Cape Canaveral in Florida

A SpaceX launch doubleheader is planned Wednesday and Thursday evenings with back-to-back Starlink rocket liftoffs from Florida's Space Coast, navigational warnings indicate.

Though SpaceX has not publicly announced these missions, Federal Aviation Administration and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency navigational warnings indicate two rocket launch windows are planned within a roughly 24-hour span.

Both launch windows last just more than 4½ hours — typical of SpaceX's Starlink missions that send payloads of broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit aboard Falcon 9 rockets.

First, the Wednesday Starlink 6-51 window will open at 5:24 p.m. and last until 9:55 p.m. EDT.

STARLINK MISSION

On Wednesday, April 17 at 5:26 p.m. ET, Falcon 9 launched 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

This was the 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, NG-20, and now six Starlink missions.
