Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches from pad 40. A Falcon 9 will launch the Worldview Legion 3 & 4 satellites from pad 40 on August TBD. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch. A Falcon 9 will launch four astronauts on Crew-9 to the ISS from pad 39A on August 18 at the earliest, at 5:39 a.m. EDT if that day. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch. A Falcon 9 will launch the GSAT-20 communications satellite for India from pad 40 on August TBD.ATLAS V & VULCANThe next United Launch Alliance Vulcan rocket, flying for the second time on the Certification-2 demonstration mission, is scheduled for September TBD.
Rocket Lab @RocketLabOwl aboard! 🦉🚀Our next mission will be the 5th of 16 launches for @synspective to deploy their constellation of synthetic aperture radar satellites. Launching Aug 3 NZST / Aug 2 UTC:🚀 NZST = 4:19 AM🚀 UTC = 16:19🚀 PDT = 09:19 AM🚀 EDT = 12:19 PM
At the Crew-9 mission overview press conference, it was mentioned that this will be after the Soyuz rotation in September. That should put launch in the second half of the month.

SpaceX is targeting Friday, August 2 for a Falcon 9 launch of 23 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is targeted for 12:19 a.m. ET, with backup opportunities available until 4:19 a.m. ET. If needed, additional opportunities are also available on Saturday, August 3 starting at 12:19 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 12th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Crew-6, O3b mPOWER, USSF-124, and eight Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
