SpaceX crews are gearing up for Cape Canaveral's next Falcon 9 rocket launch on the morning of Saturday, July 26, the Space Coast Office of Tourism reported.

Saturday's early bird 4½-hour launch window extends from 4:28 a.m. to 9:10 a.m. at Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, a Federal Aviation Administration operations plan advisory indicates.

This is SpaceX's Starlink 10-26 mission. The Falcon 9 will deploy a payload of Starlink internet satellites in low-Earth orbit after ascending along a southeasterly trajectory.

The rocket will lift off two days after the historic 75th anniversary of Bumper 8, the first rocket to launch from the Cape on July 24, 1950. The two-stage Bumper 8 experimental rocket only stood 56½ feet tall — or one-fourth the height of a 229-foot Falcon 9.

No Brevard County sonic booms should occur: The rocket's first-stage booster will target landing aboard a SpaceX drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
