SpaceX targeting Wednesday, Thursday morning rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, Florida

Launches on back-to-back mornings: SpaceX crews are scheduled to send up Falcon 9 rockets on Starlink satellite missions on Wednesday, Aug. 27, and Thursday, Aug. 28, from Florida's Space Coast.

Bear in mind that launch schedules are subject to change for weather and technical reasons. But first up, SpaceX is targeting 6:53 a.m. to 10:53 a.m. Wednesday to send the first Falcon 9 into flight from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

This rocket will deploy 28 Starlink broadband satellites into low-Earth orbit, and the first-stage booster will land atop SpaceX's Just Read the Instructions drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.

The first-stage booster will notch its 30th flight. After stage separation, this much-traveled booster will target landing on the drone ship A Shortfall of Gravitas in the Atlantic Ocean.

Neither mission should generate sonic booms on the Space Coast. Both rockets will ascend on northeasterly trajectories.
