Doubleheader SpaceX rocket launch days in Cape Canaveral set for midweek

The Space Coast is in for a treat with SpaceX planning back-to-back launch days midweek.

First up is the Starlink 10-22 mission. Liftoff is set for no earlier than 7:06 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3, from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

Next will be the Starlink 10-57 mission. This liftoff is set for no earlier than 7:18 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 4, from Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

Both of these missions are the latest batches of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites. Being in the group 10 of the satellite constellation, both missions will fly on a north-easterly trajectory.

Neither mission will provide a Space Coast sonic boom, as the Falcon 9 boosters from these missions will land on SpaceX drone ships, which will be stationed out in the Atlantic Ocean.
