Next SpaceX rocket launch from Cape Canaveral set for Tuesday afternoon

(UPDATE: This launch was delayed until Tuesday, February 24 at 6:04 p.m. ET.)

After sending a batch of Starlink satellites into orbit Saturday night, SpaceX shows no signs of slowing down and is now aiming for Tuesday afternoon for its next rocket launch from Cape Canaveral.

The Falcon 9 rocket is set to lift off from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station just before 6:04 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Feb. 24. The mission, called Starlink 6-110, is the next batch of SpaceX’s Starlink internet satellites.

SpaceX has until 7:56 p.m. to perform liftoff if necessary.

After leaving the launch pad the rocket will fly on a south-easterly trajectory. The booster will aim to land on the Just Read The Instructions drone ship, which will be deployed over the Atlantic Ocean. No Brevard County sonic boom will be heard.

The Florida TODAY Space team will provide live updates 90 minutes before liftoff at FloridaTODAY.com/Space.
