In a highly favorable forecast, the Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron predicted odds of "go for launch" weather at 95%, with cumulus clouds posing only "a very small chance of a violation."

The Falcon 9 will deploy a batch of 28 Starlink internet satellites into low-Earth orbit. After soaring skyward along a southeasterly trajectory, the rocket's first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
