Blue Origin @blueoriginJacklyn, our #NewGlenn landing vessel, is arriving very soon. Sneak peek:
SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, September 4 for a Falcon 9 launch of 21 Starlink satellites, including 13 with Direct to Cell capabilities, to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 9:01 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 12:59 p.m. ET. If needed, additional launch opportunities are available on Thursday, September 5 starting at 8:35 a.m. ET.needed, additional launch opportunities are available on Thursday, September 5 starting at 8:35 a.m. ET.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX.This is the 15th 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, NG-20, and eight 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.
