WATCH LIVE: SpaceX Set for Thursday Morning Rocket Launch from Cape Canaveral
BREVARD COUNTY • CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch a new batch of Starlink satellites from Florida’s Space Coast early Thursday morning.
Liftoff for the Starlink 10-33 mission is targeted for 10:19 a.m. EDT (1033 UTC) from Space Launch Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The mission will carry 29 Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites into low Earth orbit, continuing the expansion of SpaceX’s global broadband internet constellation.
The Falcon 9 first-stage booster supporting this launch, tail number 1077, is set to make its 27th flight, highlighting the company’s ongoing focus on reusability. Following stage separation, the booster is expected to land on the drone ship “Just Read the Instructions,” stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
Weather permitting, the launch will be visible across much of Central Florida, particularly along the Space Coast, offering early risers a chance to witness the rocket’s ascent shortly after sunrise.
This mission marks another step in SpaceX’s rapid launch cadence as it continues deploying next-generation Starlink satellites designed to improve coverage and performance worldwide.
