Get ready for the exciting launch of 23 more Starlink internet satellites into orbit from Florida tonight! 🚀 The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is all set to take off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station during a nearly four-hour window that opens at 11:01 p.m. EDT (0401 GMT on Nov. 22).
If you want to witness this amazing event, you can tune in to SpaceX’s account on X (formerly known as Twitter) for a live coverage, starting about five minutes before the launch window opens. 🌌
But that’s not all! After the lift-off, the Falcon 9’s first stage will come back to Earth for a vertical landing on the drone ship named “A Shortfall of Gravitas,” which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. And guess what? This will be the 15th launch and landing for this particular booster used, including six other Starlink flights as well as Crew-3 and Crew-4 missions to the International Space Station. 🛰️
After the launch, the 23 Starlink satellites are scheduled to deploy from the Falcon 9’s upper stage into low Earth orbit about 65.5 minutes after liftoff. Can you imagine the incredible sight of these satellites gliding into the night sky? It’s going to be spectacular! 🛰️
This launch is part of a series of recent activities by SpaceX. In just a few days, they launched 23 Starlink satellites, conducted the second test flight of its next-gen Starship rocket, and sent 22 more Starlinks up. The company has been on a roll!
So, mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this amazing event tonight. It’s going to be out of this world! 🌠
