SpaceX is targeting Sunday, October 29 at 7:45 p.m. ET for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. If needed, seven backup opportunities are available starting at 8:17 p.m. ET until 10:47 p.m. ET. Eight backup opportunities are also currently available on Monday, October 30 starting at 7:20 p.m. ET until 10:22 p.m. ET.

A live webcast of this mission will begin on X @SpaceX about five minutes prior to liftoff. Watch live.

This is the eighth flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-5, GPS III Space Vehicle 06, Inmarsat I6-F2, CRS-28, Intelsat G-37, and two Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

Tonight's launch will mark the 200th reflight of a Falcon 9 first stage; not counting FH cores.
